Real Madrid were unexpectedly held to a draw by Villarreal at their home stadium, so despite the fact that there are still 13 rounds to go before the end of the league, everyone feels the fierceness of the league title race.

It is widely believed that the league title suspense will continue until the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

In that game, if Barcelona can beat Real Madrid at home, it will surpass Real Madrid and become the first in the league, and if they continue to win, they will naturally be able to win the league title.

But if they lose at home to Real Madrid, it is likely that the league title will be in doubt, with Real Madrid separating them by five points. Even if Real Madrid loses one more game, they will still be able to maintain their lead by two points.

After all, it is not often that there are ups and downs like the 2006-2007 championship race.

Real Madrid and Barcelona both made mistakes in key games that season, but at the same time their opponents made the same mistakes, which resulted in both teams never being pulled apart. In the end, Real Madrid and Barcelona were on the same score, and Real Madrid evaluated that one win and one loss in the relationship between the two sides had an advantage and won the league championship.

But since then, it's been less and less common for both teams to make mistakes at the same time and keep the title suspense going until the final round.

The "Western Super League" duo has a growing advantage over other teams in La Liga, and within the "Western Super League", this gap is also getting bigger and bigger - this increasing is not that the advantage of one team over another team is gradually expanding, but that the two teams are always in turn in competition with each other. Real Madrid did well that season, and Barcelona had little chance. And when Barcelona is doing well, it is difficult for Real Madrid to snatch the title from Barcelona.

For example, in the 2012-2013 season, the season before Atletico Madrid broke the monopoly of the Spanish Super League, Barcelona won the championship with 100 points, while the runner-up Real Madrid only had 85 points. This season, Barcelona have been top of the league from the first round of the league, and until the end of the league, they have not let this position go unnoticed, and they have been first all the way until they win the championship.

In the last season, the 2011-2012 season, the season when Real Madrid won the championship with 100 points, the runner-up Barcelona was 91, a difference of as much as nine points.

Real Madrid, although not as flamboyant as Barcelona the following season, have also been at the top of the league since beating Malaga 4-0 away in the ninth round of the league, and have remained in that position until the end of the season ever since.

In the 2006-2007 season, the league standings of the two teams were staggered, up and down, and the suspense of winning the championship remained until the last game.

In fact, at that time, there was no "Western Super League", it was still La Liga. With the 2009-2010 season Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Real Madrid, the two giants each have a world's strongest star to lead, with the performance of the two superstars to open the same data, the two giants also officially opened the curtain of the "Western Super League", since then the Spanish top football league is divided into "Western Super League" and "La Liga" two parts.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the "Spanish Super League", and the other 18 teams, including Atletico Madrid, play the "Spanish Primera A".

It seems that this season's league competition is also likely to be played in the "Western Super League Double".

Although Gao Zheng has made bold statements about defending the championship, many people do not believe that Atletico Madrid can really do it.

In fact, it was not easy for Atletico Madrid to win the league championship under the attack of the "Western Super League Double" last season, so everyone spoke very highly of Diego Simeone at that time. He is the first head coach to lead the team to break the pattern of two super giants after the emergence of the "Western Super League".

In fact, the reason why Atletico Madrid was able to break the monopoly last season, in addition to their own good performance, another important reason is that Barcelona and Real Madrid made a lot of mistakes. Barcelona have always been top of the league, but in the second half of the league they lost back-to-back to teams like Real Sociedad, Valladolid and Granada, dropping too many points. Even if they beat Real Madrid 4-3 in the national derby, it won't help.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have been quite average in the league throughout the season, most of the time they are third in the league, before losing 3-4 to Barcelona, there were four league games that briefly became the top of the league, but once they lost to Barcelona, they lost their efforts and eventually fell to third.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have improved significantly this season, making it difficult for Atletico Madrid to get another chance.

Many pundits believe that the best match for Atletico Madrid's level this season would be third in the league.

The strongest La Liga team other than the "Spanish Super League Twins".

※※※

Everyone thought that the championship would wait until the 28th round of the league "National Derby", but in fact, there were only a few rounds, and the suspense could not last long.

As a result, the suspense ended earlier than everyone expected.

In the 26th round of the league, Real Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao away.

Although everyone knows that Bilbao is a difficult home game, even Barcelona has to work hard to win.

But everyone thinks that this game is about whether Real Madrid can maintain their advantage over Barcelona before the national derby, so Real Madrid will definitely work together to win this game.

The process may be full of twists and turns, full of suspense, but the final result will be a Real Madrid win.

But after 90 minutes of play, the score on the big screen was very dazzling:

1:0。

Athletic Bilbao defeated Real Madrid at home!

Cristiano Ronaldo avoided defeat with a goal in the last game, but this time, he was unable to help the team again with a goal.

Real Madrid's defeat in this game deeply inspired Barcelona, who were going to play the next day.

In the wake of Real Madrid's defeat, there has been a lot of discussion on TV, radio and online about the impact of the defeat on the La Liga title this season.

The vast majority of people believe that Real Madrid's defeat is tantamount to ceding the league title to Barcelona.

Barcelona will only need to stay on top of Real Madrid at home in the national derby – a draw will keep them one point ahead of them.

Not to mention how difficult it is for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou.

As for Atletico Madrid?

There is not much to mention, and it seems that everyone assumes that Atletico Madrid is the third place in the league.

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona to gain.

In the next league, Barcelona, who was stimulated or motivated, swept Valladolid 6:1 at their home stadium and successfully overtook Real Madrid by one point and sat in the league leader.

Last season, Barcelona fell to third place in the league after another defeat to Valladolid, losing hope of competing for the league title.

And this time, they didn't trip over the same stone.

Luis Enrique will fully learn the lessons of his predecessor Martino and will never let the duck fly again!
