#5 La Liga is all but over as a ‘race’
Trending
Going into the final clash on Sunday, Real Madrid lead La Liga by 3 points. FC Barcelona face Eibar while Real Madrid travel to Malaga in concurrent games that will decide the destiny of the title. All Real Madrid have to do is avoid defeat and they can guarantee their first La Liga tile since the 2011/12 season when Jose Mourinho was in charge.
If we’re going by history, Real Madrid have all but wrapped up the title – in the 30 La Liga games that have occurred between Real Madrid and Malaga, Los Blancos have lost exactly once. That loss came in 2012 when Jose Mourinho’s side went down 3-2 to a Malaga side inspired by Isco, who scored the opener.
HIstory is firmly on Real Madrid’s side, although stranger things have happened. Realistically though, we will in all probability witness Zinedine Zidane ending Real Madrid’s 5 year wait for La Liga.
