La Liga Return to Action

After a seven week hiatus due to international duty and family leave, La Liga officially returned to action overnight in Spain.

League leading top guns Real Madrid failed to put a knife through the chasing pack with 2 losses coming unexpectadly at home to lowly opponents.
Could this just be a late season slump or a signs of a side struggling with the weight of expectation. Either way Real Madrid must now find a way to cement their lead from the chasing pack which includes Sevilla (currently 1st with a game in hand), Valencia, Athleico Madrid and Barceloana.

That team, Barcelona, have had their own struggles. 2 draws from their last 3 outings is very disappointing particularly when they are now 8 points adrift from the leaders.

It will be a big finish to La Liga, with 8 games remaining - can Real Madrid stay strong and take the title which many had them picked for all season long. Or can Barcelona, a team most have already written off for this season come back and steal it from their arch rivals grips.

We know one thing for sure, it will be damn exciting.
