Real Madrid is gaining momentum with each round and today is confidently leading in the Primera tournament. The charges of Carlo Ancelotti for 16 rounds chalked up 12 victories and three peaceful outcomes, which corresponded to 39 points and first place. The gap from the second Sevilla is already eight points. It is impossible not to note the best performance of the team in the attacking line, which has distinguished itself 37 times. In the last three rounds, the creamy teams took turns defeating Sevilla (2:1), Athletic (1:0) and Real Sociedad (2:0). In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Galacticos beat Moldovan Sheriff and got the right to play in the playoffs ahead of schedule. In five rounds, the capital gained four victories and 12 points, while showing the best performance in attack, which differed 12 times, of which five goals were scored by Karim Benzema, who will not be able to enter the field today. The Frenchman has a thigh injury. Besides him Ceballos and Bale, who has a calf injury, are in the infirmary.
Before the start of the Champions League group stage, Club Brugge was considered a clear outsider in their group, but already in the first round Philippe Clement’s team demonstrated that they are capable of questioning this status. At home, the black-blue took points from PSG, having drawn a 1:1 draw with the French, but even outnumbered the formidable opponent in segments. A 2:1 win over Leipzig automatically made Club Brugge a candidate for the playoffs in the second round, but for that they had to prove themselves in two matches against Manchester City. The miracle did not happen. The Belgians lost 1:5 at home and 1:4 away, having lost their chances to qualify for the group. The 0:5 defeat to Leipzig in the last round could deprive Club Brugge and the Europa League. With the Bulls they now have four points each, but the Germans have the upper hand in personal encounters.
