El Madrid podría ganar LaLiga en el Wanda Metropolitano
No hay nada ni nadie más caprichoso que el destino. Y su última jugada está cogiendo color de un morbo mayúsculo: el Real Madrid tiene muy cerca la posibilidad de ganar LaLiga en el Metropolitano.

Pero hay dos runners más a la retaguardia en el sprint final: Sevilla y Barcelona.
