Real Madrid's crisis is now history

Against Alaves on Saturday, Real Madrid have the opportunity to go within four points of Atletico Madrid as they start to believe in sneaking past their local rivals.

Despite a disastrous first half to their league campaign, Madrid's second round of matches have been a completely different story.

Their last victory in the rearranged match against Leganes has given Los Blancos some much-needed confidence for the most crucial moments of the season.

Madrid have played their last six games with a tally of five wins and one draw, a streak that has allowed them to increase their prospects in LaLiga as they now sit in third position.

Great improvement
On January 13, Madrid hit rock bottom after losing to Villarreal at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. That was the last day of the first round of LaLiga, as the Spanish giants held fourth spot, 19 points behind leaders Barcelona.

In addition, they were only one point ahead of Villarreal and led Sevilla by three in the fight for Champions League qualification.

Almost a month and a half later, the situation has greatly improved for Los Blancos. Now third in the table, Real have regained ten points and have a cushion of nine points over Sevilla.

In addition, Madrid finished the first round with 20 goals less than Barcelona. Now they only are only four behind the Catalans thanks to the 26 times they have scored in their last six games.
