Real Madrid is the absolute leader of La Liga. With 46 points in 20 games played, the “Merengues” are the most serious candidates to be champions, since only Sevilla with 41 points (and one match less) is the only team that is relatively close to the team whose main star is Karim Benzema (Betis, third, has 33 points).
That is why the Madrid team seeks to extend their leadership in Spanish football when they face Alcoyano, who currently plays in the Third Division of Spain and who seeks to surprise a Real Madrid that is certainly much superior. In the previous round they already gave a surprise by beating Levante, who, although they are currently losing the category, play in the First Division.
