    Atletico Madrid heading into uncharted waters as La Liga favourites

    Diego Godin rose highest at Camp Nou, and competed the fairytale. Perhaps it says more about the landscape of Spanish football than the true extent of Atletico Madrid and their role of plucky underdogs, but the Uruguayan defender’s equaliser against Barcelona in May 2014 was a moment to remember your surroundings.

    Real Madrid and Florentino Perez repeating old mistakes

    At the end of the 2005/06 season, Real Madrid knew they had to rip up the manual and start again, it had been a humbling season all round and ended with Florentino Perez resigning as president.
