El Clasico: Why Barcelona are favorites over Real Madrid - ESPN

espn.com

Let's say that, before the season began, I told you that there would be a team in Spain that scores so many goals that they might cause scorekeepers across the country to refuse to work in protest of their unfairly demanding working conditions.

This team would produce the leading goal scorer in Europe. They would score 33 goals through 10 matches. Come late October, they'd have eight more goals than any other team across the continent.

You would've digested this information, nodded your head, and said, «Of course. Real Madrid did the LaLiga-Champions League double last year — and then they signed the best attacker in the world!

They already had the Ballon d'Or favorite, Vinícius Júnior, and now they have Kylian Mbappé! Everyone else is doomed.» You, of course, would have been wrong.
