Real Madrid Analysis: Looking solid in 1st place

Coming into this match, Los Blancos are coming off of an amazing 4-2 victory over Osasuna at the notoriously difficult El Sadar a few weeks prior. In the match, Madrid took the lead through Vinicius Junior until Ante Budimir equalized in the 7th minute.
