There's a saying that goes… no rest for the wicked.
Well, in the Spanish La Liga this season, if there was any wicked, then it had to be Real Madrid and Barcelona.
I mean, how can you play 22 consecutive games and not lose a single one?
Do you want to do an Arsenal Invincibles in La Liga? And to think that both clubs were gunning for the record at the same time.
If that was not wicked, then nothing else was.
And since they were the wicked, there was no rest for them. The calendar had no mercy on big clubs and hence why squad depth is so important.
Both clubs were scheduled to play two league games in six days.
Two stadiums, two storms, and one impossible demand: perfection.
Barcelona and Real Madrid stared at the schedule and felt the weight of history weight down on them. Fatigue burned their muscles, but the race at the summit left no room to stumble.
They would not give up, and so, they had to fight.
