#2. Real Madrid, down and out :
Real Madrid are currently 7th on the La Liga table and will be again far behind other challengers with any more errors. They are already on a 4 match winless streak in La Liga, conceding six goals while scoring only one in the League.
Their only goal scorer in the last four games is Marcelo, who is a left back. All these are the least of their problems as they will soon find themselves out of the title race if they lose. They were in a similar crisis before the first El Clasico in La Liga last season and the humiliating loss was enough to consider their La Liga challenge useless.
Although it is only October and some may argue that it is too early to decide La Liga, even the optimists associated with Real Madrid know that their challenge will fade away if they lose. On the other hand, winning the tie will give them a new found confidence and motivation and La Liga title won’t be out of their hands so soon.
