Title Race

Real Madrid are already 8 points behind Barcelona. Barcelona are flying with 11 wins in 12, I think it is their best ever start to a season.

Real Madrid are starting to find form after their early season blip. Do you think Real Madrid are capable of closing the gap? I don't think they can...

I was dreaming that this will be the season that there will be another team that will challenge for the title. I woke up and am rooting for Madrid all the way. There is going to be fireworks with all the top guns already showing their stuff.

This also scared me as I started reading and thought this was happening this year... Atletico and Barça are off to a great start, Real is already 3 points behind...

So Real is already 5 points behind... They really need to step up fast, 2-0 over Málaga today is something good, but if Barça and Atletico don't lose points they can't catch up.

 

[petersos]

Yeah that is the only saving grace that they have at the moment. If the two continue on a winning spree then Madrid will be playing catch up and not really get there.

 

[caparica007]

Barça drawn, Atletico lost and new hope appear for Real. Barça on top spot alone, will any team be able to take them out of there until the end of the season?

There is a war strategist who said when you have all your bases covered remember that it only takes divine intervention to change the comfort zone that you were in. That is the way that I see it there will be divine intervention to get them out of that spot.
