Without dropping the points at the start of the season vs. Sporting and Malaga, we could be leaders right now.
The fact we're in the semifinals and only one point away from the leaders shows the improvement we've had under Zidane.
After the deplorable first-half of the season we had under Benitez, it's actually a miracle we're in such competitive positions.
The league season could take a huge turn this Wednesday. Atletico, Barça, and Real Madrid all face pretty decent competition. Villarreal will be tough, but at least we're at home. I can see Athletic Bilbao beating Atletico. Barça have it easiest against Deportivo.
Deportivo aren't exactly easy though. Only lost four times at home this season, and Barça's form is at an all-time low.
