Los Blancos fans have started to fantasize about La Liga title as they secured their 15th win in last 17 league
outings, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 stumbled against Villarreal.
Kaka, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 and Mesut Ozil scored to spare Real Madrid early blushes as they went behind in the first quarter hour. The Capital club came from behind to win the match 3-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu.
On the other hand, arch-rivals Barcelona were not fortunate enough as they failed to get the better of a beleaguered Villarreal side. La Blaugrana have now dropped 13 points in 6 away games.
Pep Guardiola’s team has been marred by injury problems in the current campaign, totalling 25 injury cases so far.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547 in the medics’ room, Barcelona travelled to El Madrigal with a team consisting of six reserve team players.
La Blaugrana’s injury woes have been a revelation for Madrid who continue to build their lead at the top of La Liga.
Following Primera Division’s Round 20, Los Blancos command a sizeable 7-point lead over La Blaugrana and are showing no signs of deterioration. However, the comments from Jose Mourinho’s corner are to forget the lead and continue their
drive.
The ‘Special One’ has decided to take a pragmatic approach to the league, reflecting that there is still time for festivities start.
"We must forget the seven points and continue as if we had any advantage."
"The league is won in the other 36 games," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan manager told reporters.
Madrid’s next course of action is decided: to consolidate their advantage at the top of league table and prevent Barcelona from closing up the gap. With 18 games still to run in La Liga and Los Blancos’ European journey resuming in February,
they cannot afford to relax.
The Portuguese tactician remarked that Madrid have been able to reach pole position and they should not relax.
"Now the time is on our side and against them. Until the Champions League, we must not compromise," the tactician remarked.
Los Blancos have a tough couple of weeks ahead of them, with the Madrid derby against Getafe on February 4th, and a matchup with Levante in the following week.
