Los Blancos' eighth draw of the season leaves the door open for Barcelona to claim the top spot next week if Zidane's men suffer another setback.

Just when things seemed to be on a roll for Real Madrid, a major setback saw them drop two key points against Celta at home.

Los Blancos now have a one-point lead over Barcelona with 14 games left, and with El Clásico set to take place on March 1. The title race between these teams will have some crucial battles ahead, but let's have a look at what went down this weekend.

Barcelona was able to claim a narrow win againat Getafe, giving their coach a third win against his bitter rival, Pepe Bordalás. During that game, Barcelona was abel to survive a late surge by Getafe, and even after reports of a bad relationship between them, Antoine Griezmann was capable of putting to good use a pass by Lionel Messi to pave the way for a crucial win on Saturday evening.

During that game, Lionel Messi extended his goalscoring drought in La Liga to four games. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean he has not contributed to his team's recent victories.

Now, let's talk about Real Madrid. The team may have dropped a couple of points on Sunday, but there is reason to believe they will not faulter in their attempt to win the league, especially when you have players set to accomplish individual records with Los Blancos such as Toni Kroos and Sergio Ramos.
