Real Madrid has managed to turn an October that began with a crisis into the strongest of the season. After the 2‑1 defeat in the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid, the club was six points behind Barcelona and with an image of lackluster play that irritated the fans. However, the team has responded with a streak of five wins in five games, including the Clásico, and is at the top of the League table.
The turning point came with the 1‑0 victory over Villarreal, where Vinicius was sent off after an altercation with defender Saliba. From that moment on, coach José Mourinho began to experiment with the lineup, placing Valverde on the side and removing the double pivot that was not working. This restructuring of the tactical scheme bore fruit in the 4‑3 comeback against Roma, where Real Madrid showed a more fluid and offensive game.
With the squad now more coherent, the team continued with resounding victories: 4‑1 over Sevilla and 4‑1 against RB Leipzig. Each victory reinforced the team's confidence and consolidated Mourinho's strategy. The highlight was the Clásico, where Real Madrid beat Barcelona without controversy, demonstrating that the team has regained its ability to score and defend effectively.
As for the table, Real Madrid remains at the top of the championship, although Barcelona is still a few points behind. The winning streak has revitalized the team, which is now looking to string together three consecutive wins before facing the national team again in away games against Racing de Santander, AEK Atenas and Valencia. In order to maintain the momentum, the club will continue to work on group cohesion and the adaptation of its key players to the new tactics.
