It only took the first three matchdays of the Liga F to prove that Barça will once again have an easy path to the title. The first argument is the ease with which they destroy their rivals: three wins and 20 (!) goals scored.

The difference is even more evident when Real Madrid, precisely, dropped two points in the first matchday against DUX Logroño, the opponent Barça annihilated this Friday with a 4-0 victory at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The result isn't as conclusive as this statistic: 36 shots for the home side and only one for the visitors.
