In one of the tightest leagues of the 21st century, Madrid has been left with everything to be champion. With four games to go, the whites are the only ones who depend on themselves. The zero tie between Barcelona Y Athletic from Madrid has clearly favored those of Zidane, who could overtake the rojiblancos in the lead if they beat Sevilla tomorrow at the Di Stéfano (9pm, Movistar LaLiga). Both would add 77 points, but the whites would be placed in front because they were better in direct confrontations.
The white wardrobe has closely followed the duel of the Camp Nou and they have celebrated the end result. “We have four endings” they talk to each other, aware that they cannot fail between now and the end of the season. In addition to the complicated duel against the Hispanics, they have to visit grenade Y Athletic and end the year at home against Villarreal. The dressing room is more convinced than ever that LaLiga is possible, a title that has become very complicated during some sections of the course.
They are also aware that neither Barcelona nor Atlético are in a good moment and could still fail more between now and the end. The Catalans still have to play against I raised (V), Celtic (L) and Eibar (V), while those of Simeone have ahead Real Society (L), Osasuna (L) and Valladolid (V). Of course, in the Valdebebas booth they do not want to look at what their rivals do now that they depend on themselves.
As a reference they take what happened last year after the confinement. At that time they were convinced that, if they won the eleven remaining games in the League, they would be champions, and so it happened. In fact, it was worth ten for Barcelona's setbacks and they reached the last day being champions. This year in the league they have already been able to win four or more games in a row three times.
