This is a remarkable comeback for Barcelona, after a lot of football fan have written then off this season thinking that it would be impossible for them to make it to the top real Madrid gave them an opportunity. But we can't conclude that things can stay that way, Barcelona is just one point ahead of madrid and if they sit up in their next match they might take back the first position, let's see how that next match goes
Barcelona lost points against Rayo Vallecano, Real madrid took advantage and took the top spot in the table. And now madrid lost 3 points. We can see that Barcelona continued their winning streak and regained the top spot in the table. The La liga title race is probably going to be the most competitive of all the leagues in Europe. The only rivals for the title here are Barcelona and Madrid. But the competition is very intense. The team that cannot continue its winning streak will lose the top spot in the table. Real Madrid is only 1 point behind.
Yes, and let's say that Real Madrid faced a derby while Barcelona was a bit favored by the matches they faced. It's too early to understand if Real will be able to somehow compete against Barcelona, ??but I wouldn't write them off. Even if they played a bad match, they are still very strong.
I remember a few seasons ago when Barcelona looked way more consistent than Madrid. But the fact is, Madrid still managed to top the table by the end of the season. That said, there are still plenty of games left to play, and the real challenge will come when Barcelona and Madrid face each other across different competitions. If either team runs into serious problems with injuries to their key players, we can bet that team will lose their consistency.
So let’s just wait and see how far Madrid and Barcelona will go in the race for the title.
Real Madrid's defense remains a problem. We saw this again in the match against Atletico Madrid. Young defenders are prone to making mistakes. Atletico Madrid's magnificent players managed to score five goals against them thanks to this. Barcelona could apply a similar strategy to them. Therefore, Spanish manager Xabi will need to prioritize Real Madrid's defense.
