The Spanish
league seems to have gone stark raving mad. Here are ten facts to show just
how much so. Crazy,
but fun!
1/ Atleti can proclaim themselves champions with just two
points (by drawing against Málaga and Barça), but might drop to second place
with three (winning against Málaga but losing to the Catalans).
2/ Barça had not long ago given up all hope, but now are in
with a good chance of winning La Liga.
3/ Barça haven't beaten Atlético in five games, but now they
can snatch the league title away from them by defeating the 'Rojiblancos' just
once.
4/ Everyone was talking about how Barça were going to hand
the league over to Atléti in the last game and it turns out that it's Real that
have given Barça another chance.
5/ The second and third teams could notch up 90 points each
and still not win the league.
6/ Casillas has been shot at once in the league - and it
went in.
7/ The same newspaper that headlined on Sunday "Goodbye
Liga, goodbye Tata", now says five days later, "Real hands us the
league title!"
8/ La Liga, which has one of the unfairest television rights
distribution systems, has been the most exhilarating league in Europe.
9/ Getafe
are presently in a position to be relegated but if they beat Sevilla could be
mathematically saved from such a punishment in the second-to-last game.
10/ There are still more crazy carry-ons to see out. It is
anybody's guess who this year's league champions will be and there are two
relegation positions still to be decided.
