Real Madrid Draw Hurts Title Race?

The draw that Real Madrid received has been another blow to their La Liga title ambitions after the club was held 1-1 by Girona FC in Santiago Bernabeu stadium. What has been the consequence is that it has added pressure on Madrid, who is on the homestretch of the season.

Real Madrid began the game with a purpose but was unable to control it. Girona remained disciplined and availed themselves of their opportunities. The visitors showed why they have been one of the most competitive sides this season.

This discombenating blow would have grave repercussions in the title race. Madrid is now at risk of being further behind FC Barcelona. Barcelo Barcelona can widen the gap to nine points, should they win against RCD Espanyol. Even with seven matches remaining, it might be too hard to cover that distance.

The outcome is a problem that is increasing in Madrid. The lost points during this season are expensive. A draw can turn the tide of a close title race even once. The performance of Girona also shows the extent to which La Liga is competitive as teams in the mid-table can upset the best.

Madrid still has time to react but now the margin of error is extremely thin. Each game that follows is paramount. The team will be expected to produce steady performance and wish their competitors fall.

To the fans the tension is mounting. The title race is not concluded but the way of Madrid has been greatly complicated. Their future matches will also make it or break it as to whether this draw will be the turning point or a time when their title bid had slipped.
