Real Madrid did a professional job on Saturday evening, seeing off Osasuna 4-0 and then waiting for their title rivals to slip up.
Atletico de Madrid took on Valencia at the Mestalla in a game that many Madridistas thought Los Colchoneros could slip up in given that they have a huge game with Chelsea on Wednesday evening. It wasn’t to be the case though as Diego Simeone’s men took a 1-0 win that sees them move to within six points of winning the title.
Marca and AS both hail the champions elect and should they go on to win it, it would be a great achievement for Real’s cross-city rivals.
There is of course another huge competition that Los Blancos have their eye on though – the Champions League. According to AS, 3,500 Madrid fans will travel to Germany to support their team as they look to make it to their first final since 2002.
Boss Carlo Ancelotti has been talking about the game and says that winning La Decima in his first season in charge at the Santiago Bernabeu would make him a proud man as it would be an incredible achievement.
Sergio Ramos has also been talking about the possibility of winning the trophy, and said that its the only thing missing from his CV, so it is of vital importance to him.
