I know its early but real is 7 points behind barca already. Terrible start
I don't think they catch Barca unless they beat them in the head to heads.

The crazy thing about Real Madrid this season is all their struggles are coming at home. They have not won a home game this year in La Liga. They dropped 7 of a possible 9 points at home while not dropping a single point away from home.
It is crazy and all this after the Super Cup demolition of Barca too. Maybe Ronaldo suspension put them in a malaise. I still think they qualify for UCL though and that is really all that matters. Wasn't yesterday's loss to Betis the first time they were shut out in 70+ La Liga games? I heard Pele's Santos holds the record but I may be mistaken.
yeah, if Enrique was still in charge at Barca, I'd say RM may have a good shot at catching them as I've never rated in as a manager, but Valverde is a quality manager that will keep them sharp and make any necessary adjustments if needed.Yea terrible start to the year for them. And unlike the EPL, La Liga doesn't offer you many chances to gain ground on teams like Barca.
Anyone have an opinion on Napoli unseating Juve in the Italian League this? They are off to a fast start and that is 10 straight including end of last year (not including their UCL gaff). Their front 3 are pretty amazing and they have booked 19 goals already. I will like to see someone knock off Juve and this could be the year.
It'' definitely be a tighter race this year. Napoli for sure will challenge, Inter has look LOTS better, and both they and Milan have new owners that aren't afraid to spend and want to get them back to where they were.The Serie A might be interesting this year. Inter look a LOT better, and Napoli might give Juve a run.
