Real Madrid at La Liga summit after a one-year gap - La Liga news
October ended in the best possible way for Real Madrid. They finished it off with a win over Real Sociedad at Anoeta in Jornada 11 and are the sole leaders of La Liga after a gap of one year.
Osasuna defeated leaders Levante at home to give Los Blancos the slip they were waiting for. They now have a one point advantage over second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
Real started went in the lead after the first two match days, their emphatic victories over Getafe and Real Zaragoza giving them pole position on goal difference.
Nevertheless, they were not alone at the top and shared the podium with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863, Barcelona, and Real Betis.
The last time Los Galacticos were at the top of La Liga before the first El Clasico of the season, Real lost their status after the 5-0 thrashing they received at the hands of Barcelona. The Catalans, then, continued their excellent vein of form until the
end of the season and were eventually crowned champions.
Jose Mourinho’s men have a difficult month ahead of them, before they make their much awaited return to Camp Nou in the season’s third El Clasico.
They will be involved in three league matches and two Champions League fixtures before the month ends.
Real will host Osasuna and Atletico Madrid, while they also have to travel to Mestalla to take on Valencia. They have a tricky fixture schedule in front of them, games that are always competitive and exciting.
The Champions League watches them in away action against Lyon which is followed by playing hosts to Dinamo Zagreb.
Real have a tough and demanding schedule ahead, however, the form they are showing at the moment is extraordinary and should take them through.
They have found a knack of finishing games in the first half, and have scored in the first half-hour in each of their last 7 matches.
Real’s defensive record is also envious, conceding a single goal in 8 matches.
Jose Mourinho’s men enjoy pole position with 25 points from ten matches. They enjoy a very favourable goal difference of 26 after conceding a paltry 6 goals.
