FOOTBALL: 2 WINS TO GO

Real Madrid just need two more wins from their last 5 matches to win this season's league title. It will be even sweeter if they can win it in their next 2 matches before playing Barcelona at home for the third match.

This season, Real Madrid can win the title not because they are better than the last. Last season's final matches were the best of all time. This season however, they are extremely poor. Well, the only reason I can see is that the opponents are even lousier.

Barcelona have been so out of form and I think we can blame the internal issues of players. As for Villarreal, there is just no inconsistencies. Valencia and Sevilla are having the same fates too. Atletico Madrid benefitted from all these and are now in fourth place. Strange that this happens after they sold Fernando Torres. Therefore, if they do win the Spanish La Liga, I will say the win is because of weak challengers this season. It is not because of Bernd Schuster and his "exciting attacking" football. In my brain, Fabio Capello > Bernd Schuster X100 times over.
