- Real Madrid - Finding a Way :
Even through several injuries this club continues to impress. With more than 6 different long term injured players, Real Madrid have managed to maintain their position at the top of the table and are level on points with Girona Fc.
Even with Courtois and Kepa out injured ( first choice and second choice goalkeepers) they have been able to maintain a defensive wall conceding only 11 goals so far.
One more key factor is the arrival of Jude Bellingham, he is not only controlling the midfield but also the leading goalscorer of La Liga.
Tactically slightly above average, Real Madrid are what you can say "clutch".

- Atletico Madrid - Continuing the fight :
This team has transformed under Diego Simeone in La Liga through the years and has emerged as one of the top European Clubs.
Atletico Madrid do not usually have huge funds to sustain a star studded squad so they rely on Diego Simeone's defensive and counter attacking based high class tactics.
A big reason to stay 3rd in the competition till now is Antoine Griezmann who consistently performs at the highest level and creates goal scoring opportunities.
They have one of the oldest squads in La Liga, having a starting 11 with an average age of almost 31 years.
This plays a factor in consistency as stamina is affected with games not only across La Liga but also the UEFA Champions League.
Games Played : 18
Wins : 12
Draws : 2
Losses : 4
