^ As a result of Barcelona's win over Mallorca, Barcelona is now at the top of the table and has won 6 games out of 7 so far this season. The only difference between them and Real Madrid is that they have played one more match. So the only thing that is going to solidify the position of Barcelona in the first position is going to be Real Madrid losing their next match. However, I don't think that is going to happen considering the fact that Real Madrid is going to play against Osasuna in the next match. As a team, Osasuna does not seem to be performing consistently. Because of this, I do not think that they will be able to defeat Real Madrid and even draw a match with them.
Three important points for Barca. It was not an easy match, especially in the 2nd half. Ter Stegen was superb.
Robert Lewandowski and Ter Stegen are the main differentiators between the two teams in this match.
And Ter Stegen has set a new personal best for minutes and survived without once having to pick the ball out from the back of the net.
