After today’s surprising loss, La Liga just got a lot more interesting for both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. What will happen this weekend?
Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been expecting a result like this for a long time, it will turn La Liga way more interesting than it already was. Atletico Madrid played against Levante at home on Saturday and lost 0-2. A surprising result that leaves them quite vulnerable in their pursuit for the title this season. Diego Simeone’s boys started the season on a strong note and appeared invincible until a month ago.
But things can turn around in the blink of an eye for professional football clubs. The Colchoneros dropped points over the last month and gave his closest competitors a lifeline during a complicated season for both. Los Blancos are struggling with many injured players, whereas the Catalan club has institutional issues. This was the season in which Atletico had a chance to dominate in the domestic front but they are bottling their chances in scandalous fashion.
Real Madrid and Barcelona’s chances.
After Atletico’s latest defeat, the Spanish La Liga has turned into a tournament where only six points are the difference. Real Madrid plays at Valladolid later today. Barcelona have a complicated match against Cadiz at Camp Nou stadium. If Los Blancos win tonight, they will be only three points behind the Colchoneros with one more match played.
Barcelona has two less matches to play with 46 points. Winning those games would also place them three units behind Atletico with 52 points. This is a unique opportunity for both Spanish giants to catch up to the Rojiblancos. Will they manage to conquer the nerves and get those victories over the weekend? We will keep you posted regardless of their result.
