The mid-week’s fixtures in the Spanish La Liga brought a dramatic change at the top of the league standings as the gap between the top two reduced to six points.
Prior to the matches played this past weekend, Real Madrid were calmly sitting at the top of the Spanish Primera Division’s league table. Their position seemed comfortable as they were 10 points clear of second-place Barcelona.
With only a number of games left to be played, many concluded that Jose Mourinho’s men will definitely win La Liga crown in this season’s campaign and will be successful in overthrowing Barcelona as the champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011
However, these claims may need a second thought as the last two fixtures in the league have produced results which were slightly uncalled for.
This past Saturday, Barcelona faced Sevilla at the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. The defending Spanish champions made no mistake as they clinched all three points from the game which ended with a final score of 2-0 in the favour of the Catalans.
The next day Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid faced Malaga at the Santiago Bernabeu and to the dismay of the home crowd, they could only manage a 1-1 draw against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-c23383 Pellegrini’s men.
Then came the mid-week fixtures and yet again, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 were able secure all three points from their match on Tuesday against Granada, winning the game with the final score-line 5-3.
Los Vikingos played their fixture against Villarreal the next day and once again, they had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate. It was a disappointing night for Los Blancos as they dropped two more points in the title race.
Consequently, Madrid’s advantage over Barcelona is now at 6 points and the title race seems all open once again.
