Since October, the global stock market has been in turmoil due to the events in New York in September, and the situation in the Middle East has become more and more eroded with the incident, but these have not affected the heat of La Liga too much.

Real Madrid immediately announced their return to form with a three-game winning streak after a miserable start to the season.

In the first stage of the Champions League group stage that began on September 11, Real Madrid was divided into a somewhat suspenseful group as the defending champion, although with the expansion of the Champions League and the Champions League group stage made the Champions League group stage there are some weak teams in the small national league, but Real Madrid was unfortunately with Roma, Lokomotiv Moscow and Anderlecht team in a group, with the other three teams seem not very good, but they are all teams with good strength, and at the end of the year, away to Moscow is undoubtedly equivalent to going to the "North Pole" The extremely low temperature is undoubtedly a big challenge for Real Madrid's players.

Real Madrid got off to a good start with a 2-1 win away to Roma on 11 September, followed by a 4-0 home win over Lokomotiv Moscow on 19 September and a 4-1 home win over Anderlecht on 26 September.

Since October, Real Madrid's competition has gradually intensified.

On October 7, the seventh round of La Liga began, Real Madrid hosted Athletic Bilbao, and Real Madrid, who had recovered their form, defeated their opponents 2-0 cleanly at home.

In the eighth round of the league, Liu Han scored two goals in the away match against Alaves to help Real Madrid defeat the opponent 3-0 away, and Real Madrid finally returned to the top of the standings after five consecutive league wins.

The situation in La Liga this season has not changed much from last season, except for last season's dark horse Mallorca, which finally returned to their essential surprise, the rest of Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna still occupy the top position in the standings.

However, it is a miracle that Valencia can still retain their third place in the league after eight league games, after all, they lost the team's "Meritorious Coach" Cooper and "Meritorious Captain" Mendieta at the end of last season, such a loss is huge for any team, but it is surprising that Valencia's new coach Benitez has led this remnant team to a jaw-dropping level, and Benitez's very practical tactical arrangement is very suitable for Valencia's team.

Three days later, Real Madrid travelled to Anderlecht, Belgium, where they beat their opponents 2-0 away to secure their qualification for the first stage of the group stage.

Liu Han scored two goals in this game, and he showed the Belgian defenders what it means to be a top center forward.

Real Madrid, who have recovered their form, still maintain a very high winning rate in the two-front battle, and Zidane has also completely integrated into the team, which has given Real Madrid the momentum of the five consecutive Champions League titles that year.

After returning to Madrid, Real Madrid continued to prepare for the ninth round of their league match, which had been exhausted by a series of intensive fixtures, and Bosque had to make a substitution for the ninth round of the league.

On October 21, in the ninth round of La Liga, Real Madrid was forced to draw 1-1 by Celta at home, and Real Madrid, who rotated the lineup, looked a little overwhelmed in the face of Celta's tight defense.

After this draw, Real Madrid handed over their top spot in the league table, where they were overtaken by Deportivo La Coruna to move into second place in the league table.

Three days later, the Champions League group stage resumed, and after securing their qualification for the Champions League, Real Madrid fielded a large number of young players in this game.

Roma had to fight hard to keep their qualification alive, but unfortunately, their efforts seemed to have gone too far, and the Roma players fell into a state of fragmentation, and they were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Madrid's predominantly young players.

In this way, Real Madrid confirmed their position as the top group of the first stage of the Champions League group stage one round in advance.

On October 28, the 10th round of La Liga began, and Real Madrid challenged Villarreal away.

After a period of rest, the Real Madrid players showed good form after returning to the game, with the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Figo and Raul all playing well.

Real Madrid found their groove in the opening of the game less than 10 minutes after the start of the game, and Raul, who had been in average form until now, found his groove in this game, receiving Liu Han's cross from inside the box and slotting home with ease.

Just before half-time, Raul scored a shot from outside the box to break down Villarreal's goal, and Liu Han drew most of Villarreal's attention from inside the box, which made it easy for Raul to aim and shoot again.

After entering the second half, the Real Madrid players began to relax, after all, the team is now 2-0 lead, and Villarreal has been on the defensive, but in this situation, Villarreal suddenly counterattacked, they took advantage of the laxity in the back of the Real Madrid players to pull a goal back in the 60th minute of the second half.

Five minutes later, Villarreal created another killing in the Real Madrid penalty area, and the young Pavon was once again the victim, accidentally touching the football with his hand, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Villarreal equalised with less than half an hour remaining, and Real Madrid's overly relaxed state gave them a taste of their bitter fruit.

After the equaliser, Villarreal looked to see hope of a straight three points at home and stepped up their attack for the rest of the game.

However, it was then that Liu Han suddenly broke out, first using Zidane's precise diagonal pass to break through the team's goal, and then receiving Figo's cross with a header with five minutes left in the game.

Liu Han's two consecutive goals in 20 minutes forced Villarreal to accept defeat.

After this league game, Real Madrid's October game is almost over, except for an undoubted Champions League group game away to Lokomotiv Moscow.

In October, Real Madrid had a very impressive record, winning all competitions in both the Champions League and the league except for a draw by Celta Vigo, which made them very vocal about defending their league and Champions League titles this season. (To be continued.) )
