...and would Maldrid end the season at the top of the league?
The distance in terms of points between the top four teams in the la liga is very slim, it will take an intentional act of good football that is maintaining a winning streak and for teams like Real Soceidad, Sevilla and Athletico Madrid to drop points for Real Madrid to stay top in the table. Luka Modric was fantastic with the ball as usual, an addition of players like Mbappe and Haaland to this Real Madrid team, and they will definitely be an upset to any team they meet.
Real Madrid looks like the better compared to other competitors (Barcelona and Atletico Madrid), they have the better squad depth, with highly experienced players, despite missing a few players to injury, they still look like the real deal, I mean no disrespect but, Real Sociedad have been impressive so far this season. However, I really don't see them as a team competing for the title, I'd not even fancy Sevilla's chances, We've seen them try for the 28 or thereabout weeks sometimes before everything goes south.
At the moment, Real Madrid looks quite strong compared to its rivals. But do not forget that there are still many matches ahead. While the phenomenal play of Vinicius, Benzam and the Cross-Modric-Casemiro trio makes Real Madrid feel great. But the rivals will gain shape over time. And they will start catching up with Real Madrid. I think everything will be decided in the spring, when the decisive matches begin.
Compared to other competitors, I agree that for now Real Madrid is the most convincing to win the La Liga trophy. But there are still 25 more games
to play for Real Madrid, there is a possibility that Real Madrid will drop points in the next few matches. If we look at the previous season Real Madrid
lost by two points to Atletico, so I hope this season Real Madrid can learn from their mistakes. And don't throw away too many points, I believe as long
as Real Madrid's main players are not injured, Real Madrid have a bigger chance to win the La Liga trophy this season. Moreover, Real Madrid two
main competitors last season were Atletico and Barcelona, not playing too well this season. Especially Barcelona, which has just changed its coach,
needs time to find its best game.
