Real Madrid goes from the initial bump to now depending on itself in the fight for the Champions

A Champions comeback. Real Madrid are going like a shot in this First Iberdrola, in which they have chained eight wins in a row. White have managed to stop the bleeding at the start of the League, in which they signed a bad start, and they already depend on themselves to achieve European qualification. With a difficult next game, as they face Barça (Sunday, 12:00), Toril’s team is going for it all in this League, in which they are already clear favorites to occupy one of the Champions positions.

And it is that Real Madrid is four points from Atlético (3rd) and six from Real Sociedad (2nd), having two pending matches more than these two rivals. For this reason, he would not only have options to attack the European zone but he could take second if he keeps up this pace, being able to repeat runner-up in the League.

Their good dynamics have made us forget the bad start in the League, in which they came to flirt with the relegation zone, and gives confidence to the team ahead of a decisive month of March. A period that has started with Madrid getting the pass to the quarterfinals of the Cup, where they face Levante on March 16, and with two wins, against Athletic (2-0) and Atlético (0-2).

Now, another decisive stretch is approaching, with league duels against direct rivals in Europe such as Granadilla (March 19) or Levante (March 27) and with the Champions League quarter-final dispute against Barça. The first leg will be at Di Stéfano (March 22, at 9:00 p.m.), leaving the return leg at Camp Nou on March 30 (6:45 p.m.).
