A team that was once trailing in La Liga by less than 6 points last year has now reached the top position in the Spanish league. They showed great determination and skill on Friday night. On Saturday, another team, much like an underdog hoping to make it to the big leagues, defeated the reigning European champion 3-0.
Then, on Sunday, a team that hadn’t won a Spanish championship since World War II, needing just 14 victories to clinch the title at one point, found themselves competing with powerhouses Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga.
This season in Spain has been full of surprises, like biting into a chocolate biscuit filled with spicy Tabasco sauce. While things may appear straightforward on the surface, a closer look reveals unexpected twists and turns.
For instance, Barcelona has had its fair share of ups and downs, with impressive wins like the historic victory over Spurs and standout performances against Inter Milan and in the Spanish Super Cup. Real Madrid has also made its mark with memorable displays in El Clásico.
The Camp Nou, Barcelona’s fortress, has seen some surprising results this season. Espanyol and Alaves have better home records than Barcelona, who have dropped 7 points at home in just 13 weeks. Even Leganes, rumored to have played fewer games than Barcelona, could catch up to the champions if they win their upcoming match at Butarque.
