After Real Madrid was held to a 1-1 draw by Las Palmas, the Spanish newspaper Sport pointed out that the new Galacticos, who concluded last season with a perfect finish as La Liga and Champions League double winners, have failed to demonstrate their expected form and results in the opening stages of this season’s La Liga.
In the first three rounds of league matches, Ancelotti’s “Los Blancos” managed only 5 points, which included 3 points from a home win against Valladolid at the Bernabeu, and 1 point each from draws away to Mallorca and Las Palmas.
The poor performance, combined with their arch-rivals Barcelona achieving a good start despite facing a decline in strength and financial difficulties, has left Madrid’s fans feeling anxious. After just three rounds of matches, Barcelona, coached by Flick, already leads Real Madrid by 4 points in the league table.
The newspaper Sport pointed out that the challenges currently facing Real Madrid go beyond this. Data experts noted: “In the history of La Liga, there have been 14 instances where Real Madrid fell behind league leaders Barcelona by 4 points after three rounds. In the previous 13 instances, Real Madrid only won the title once, which was in the 2019-20 season under coach Zidane.”
The newspaper Sport pointed out that this historical data shows that despite the season just beginning, the point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona should not be underestimated.
