"This season's La Liga title race has already brought plenty of twists and turns, with Barcelona currently top of the table, one point clear of Real Madrid after 23 games played and now 13 clear of Atletico Madrid in third place. Yet things looked very different back in October when Real Madrid went five points clear of Barcelona after beating Hansi Flick's side 2-1 in El Clasico at the Bernabeu. But all is not well in the Spanish capital."
"Xabi Alonso was fired in January after less than eight months in charge and replaced by Alvaro Arbeloa. However, questions remarks remain over whether he's the right man for the job. Over at Atletico there have also been problems. Diego Simeone's side have only won 13 of 23 games, while star man Julian Alvarez hasn't scored in La Liga since all the way back in November."
Barcelona lead La Liga by one point over Real Madrid after 23 games, with Atlético 13 points behind in third. Real Madrid held a five-point advantage in October after a 2-1 El Clasico victory at the Bernabéu. Xabi Alonso was dismissed in January and replaced by Álvaro Arbeloa amid doubts about the appointment. Atlético have won 13 of 23 matches and Julián Álvarez has not scored in La Liga since November. Barcelona have won all 11 home league games and suffered only one defeat since El Clasico, away at Real Sociedad in January. The title race reflects both Barcelona's strong form and rivals' inconsistencies.
