Real Madrid must overcome history to defeat Barca 

Real Madrid must overcome history to defeat Barca

22.02.2016

'As long as we have a chance mathematically to be champions, we're going to fight for it.', This was one of the many statements that the coach of Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane made after yesterday's 1:1 draw against Malaga. A similar opinion was expressed and by the central defender Sergio Ramos, who specified that he is consistent and in more severe situations.
It is a curious thing that if you believe the story so far, 'white ballet' is doomed to failure in their attempts to catch the Catalans. Quick reference with history shows that the 'Kings' have never managed to win the title if after the 25th round in La Liga they were lagging with 9 points from the leader (as at present).
The latter applies not only to Real but also for every other team in the League. No one else has ever caught up like retardation with 13 games remaining to the finish of the Championship.
The nearest similar experience for Real Madrid dates from the 2006/2007 season, when the team, led of Fabio Capello won the title, although after the 25th round it was 6 points behind the leader Sevilla.
