Real Madrid Currently Listed at 1.83 To Win La Liga
Published on March 24th, 2014 3:22 pm ESTOne of the most thrilling developments in all of football so far this year has been the fierce battle for the top spot in La Liga.
Over the course of this season, three teams (Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid) have owned the top spot in the league. Just when you think that one team has gained some breathing room, they will be pulled back into the pack.
This past weekend, Barcelona beat Real Madrid in "El Clasico", led by a hat-trick by Lionel Messi. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, defeated Real Betis 2-0.
Real Madrid had been leading heading into the weekend, but their loss to Barcelona has caused a log jam once again.
Here are the current standings as of this moment at the top of La Liga:
Atletico Madrid, 22-4-3, 70 points
Real Madrid, 22-4-3, 70 points
Barcelona, 22-3-4, 69 points
Barcelona continues to be haunted by losses to teams like Valladolid, but they are still within striking distance of the lead.
