It seemed that not long ago Carlo Ancelotti’s team secured a solid lead over their competitors in La Liga and could feel comfortable. However, neighbors from Rayo Vallecano had a different opinion and managed to take points from the “Galacticos” last weekend. Real Madrid scored on the third minute of the match with a shot from Joselu, but on the 27th minute, Raul de Tomas equalized from the penalty spot. As a result, a 1-1 draw, which allowed Barcelona and Madrid’s Atletico to slightly reduce the gap, but not Girona, which lost their match. Note that for the “White Ballet,” it was the second draw in the last three La Liga rounds.
In the previous season of the Spanish championship, the “Nervionenses” finished only in 12th place but managed to compensate for their failure in La Liga with another victory in the Europa League. They won’t be able to win in European competitions this time, while in the championship, things are even worse. After 25 rounds, Kike Sanchez Flores’ team is only in 15th place. The gap from the relegation zone is seven points, and essentially, the improvement in the standings only happened in the last four rounds when they defeated Rayo Vallecano (away) and Madrid’s Atletico (home) and also secured draws at home against Osasuna (1-1) and away against Valencia (0-0) in the previous round.
