Guti Scares Barça and Atlético with a Devastating Fact about Madrid: 'Not Yet...'
Despite not showing their best form, Real Madrid remains one point behind both teams in LaLiga
With one gameday left before the winter break in Spanish soccer, the 'winter champion' of LaLiga is still far from clear. The setbacks of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona =, added to the victory of Atlético Madrid, have tightened the championship even more.
Real Madrid couldn't get past a draw in their visit to the Estadio de Vallecas. They got a point in a hard-fought game, although the first half and the referee's decisions took their toll on the final result.
The white team managed to come back from two goals down, but Rayo Vallecano managed to tie the game 3-3. In addition, Vini Jr. suffered a clear penalty that was not called by Martínez Munuera or the VAR .
Barça is defeated and will play against Atlético
On the other hand, Barça's weekend has been even more chaotic. The Catalans, who already looked like they had the three points after Real Madrid's draw, fell by the narrowest of margins to CD Leganés. A result that, added to the absence of Lamine Yamal, leaves Hansi Flick's men in a very delicate situation.
FC Barcelona's next match will mark a turning point in LaLiga. The Catalans will host Atlético de Madrid in a match that will be very crucial for Real Madrid. A draw between the two teams would be the best option, although a win for Atlético de Madrid wouldn't upset the Madridistas either.
Atlético de Madrid , meanwhile, are in great form at Montjuic, but the precedents are not on their side. In past seasons, the red-and-white team was not able to stand up to a Barça side that has rarely failed to win against them.
Guti calms down and believes in Real Madrid
Guti spoke on ' El Chiringuito ' about La Liga and its future outcome. The former Real Madrid player has full confidence in the white team. Despite the fact that Carlo Ancelotti's team hasn't shown its best form, the current champions are still one point behind the leaders.
"We haven't seen the best version of Madrid yet... and we're just one point away," Guti told the panel of commentators on the program.
Real Madrid certainly have a chance of returning to the top of La Liga within their grasp, but they must avoid slipping up like last Saturday. However, Los Merengues have a game in hand on Barça and could take advantage of the result of both teams to move up the table.
