In their meetings, the capital club scored 21 goals (the second figure in the league) and conceded only seven times (the second figure in the league).
Despite the lack of defeats in the championship, Real Madrid is not stable this season.
In the Champions League, Ancelotti's team lost to Lille, and in the last round they could have lost at home to Borussia Dortmund, but in the second half there was a cool comeback.
In the championship, Real lost points in games with Mallorca, Las Palmas and Atlético. At the same time, victories over Celta and Alaves were hard won. All this speaks to the instability of Real Madrid.
Of course, one of the reasons is injuries. We are all used to talking about the problems of Barcelona, but Real Madrid has recently been losing a lot of important players due to injuries. “Barcelona” But “Barcelona”, under the leadership of a new coach, surprises with a plus sign. It is not clear how, but Hans-Dieter Flick in a very short period of time did what Xavi Hernandez could not do for almost three years, namely add stability and self-confidence to the team. Based on the results of ten rounds, Barcelona is the sole leader of the Spanish Championship, having gained 27 points. The Catalans have nine wins and only one defeat. It must be said that five of Barcelona's nine victories were devastating. In total, the “blue garnets” have already scored 33 goals (the best figure in the league), while conceding ten goals (the seventh figure in the league). In almost all matches, Barcelona prevailed over their opponents, although they were not always able to turn this into a solid advantage. At the moment, Flick's Barcelona has no weak points or their opponents simply cannot find them. The only defeat in La Liga against Osasuna happened only after a serious rotation, when the coach gave the leaders a rest.
