Worst version of Barca-Madrid battle in 14 years

The 2019-20 La Liga is one of the most exciting and tightest campaigns in recent years.

Many teams are on a handful of points, something that hasn't been seen recently due to the tyranny of Barca and Madrid.

The two biggest teams in Spain are used to marking their territory from the start, but this season things are different.

While it is true that both teams occupy 1st and 2nd, they do so with (negative) records that haven't been seen in almost 15 years.

Both teams have 22 points after 11 matches. You have to go back 14 years to find the last time that happened when none of them had reached that mark.

It was in 2005-06. That season, Barca were managed by Frank Rijkaard and Vanderlei Luxemburgo was the Real Madrid manager.

After 11 games, Barca had 22 points, whereas Real Madrid had 1 less (21).

A clear sign that the 2 La Liga greats are experiencing a more than complicated moment and their aura of invincibility for some season has been forgotten.
