But comments from Malaga coach Michel and owner Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani have suggested that the Roselda fancy Real to win the league.
Michel is a Real Madrid fan, played at the Bernabeu for 14 years and is still friends with president Florentino Perez.
Michel was asked about Jorge Valdano, who coached Tenerife to a final-day win at the Bernabeu that handed Barcelona the title.

He said: “I’m much more of a Madrid fan than Valdano was.”
This provoked the ire of Barca supporters, who sent messages to Malaga owner Al-Thani on social media.
Al-Thani responed: “The human waste of Catalunya will never smell [the glory] of La Liga.”
This incensed Barcelona so much that they felt compelled to release a statement crying foul on Malaga.
