Real Madrid

If someone has said that Real Madrid will be in contention for a double (including La Liga which we last won in the 2011-12 season) in January, I would have laughed them off. In spite of being a Real Madrid fan, I didn’t expect Los Blancos to be in contention to win the league with just three matches to go.
In the last three matches, Real travel to Anoeta to face Real Sociedad, host Valencia and play Deportivo away in the final match of the league. A win on the final day of the league is all but assured but the other two matches are quite tricky for the ten-time European champions.
Just a couple of weeks back, La Real beat Barcelona at home, which proves that traveling to Anoeta is always tricky. With Karim Benzema already ruled out, Cristiano Ronaldo doubtful and Zinedine Zidane expected to rest few of his regular starters keeping the mid-week Champions League semi-finals in mind, Real Madrid have their task cut out when they take on Real Sociedad tomorrow.
Facing Valencia has been a problematic fixture for Real Madrid as the Oranges have a history of troubling them in crunch games. Even in the last two seasons, a draw against Valencia shut down Real Madrid’s hopes of winning the league.
