10!!!! Is it enough?
Finally, the longingly desired goals of Real Madrid have come to fulfillment, well, these circumstances actually look like an over-fulfillment. Not only is Mourinho's team in the first place of the Liga BBVA, but is 10 points away from its major rival. With three more months to go, the question many are asking is "is it possible for Barcelona to win this competition". Well, if we go to the numbers, it is mathematically possible, many important games are still awaiting each team, and with 39 points in play Guardiola's team still has a possibility. However, if we observe the great quality of play and consistency in results that Real Madrid has had, most would say that if that 10 point difference is going to change, it is by increasing. Since Barcelona has tied and lost several games to opponents which are theoretically "inferior" to them this season, the awe-inspiring accumulation of points of Madrid has forced them to pay for their mistakes. Is it reasonable to believe that this competition yet has no pre defined winner?

Real Madrid: Mauricio Pochettino?
The Special One, Jose Mourinho has without a doubt improved Real Madrid on the 18 months. He knows how to modify tactics and use them well against any opponent, has won the Copa Del Rey last year against Barcelona, and despite being second place in the Spanish League, he managed to pass the barrier of Round 2 of Champions League elimination.Currently, Real Madrid is in first place on the league, lost the Copa Del Rey against Barcelona, and will be playing the Champions League second round in two weeks against Csk Moscu.
Now, while this may seem as a very good moment on his career, it is said that he is not happy. Whether he is not appreciated by fans, or has an issue with a particular unknown player leaking information about the club to the press, he is thought to be unhappy. Rumors suggest that he will be leaving the 30th day of the upcoming June. As sad as this may be for some, everything has to change, and a new trainer will have to arrive. Real Madrid has not acknowledged or confirmed anything about Mourinho's farewell, but they already have a list of possible top quality managers to substitute him. The number one on this list is Mauricio Pochettino, an Argentinean who has been coaching Espanyol since 2009. He has notably increased the level of his team, and being such a recently retired player he is eligible. His style of play is attractive, he utilizes young players, gives lots of trouble to Barcelona when he faces them,and ironically, his contract with Espanyol ends in June 30th of the current year. Will Mourinho leave? If he does, is Pochettino the right one?
