If the ones of the Cholo Simeone achieve to hold these days and follow adding points until remaining second, would be 20ª time that attain to do it in the history of LaLiga Santander. Perhaps, for the footballers was anecdótico, but for the fans would be something important.

Like curiosity, of those still 19 times in which the Real Madrid remained underneath of the Athletic, two were in the last five years. The colchoneros Are accustoming to look by the rear-view mirror to his big rival and look forward to to do it this course by third time in five years.
