Real Madrid rivalry, Barcelona shouldn't be forgotten, were only three points adrift of their rivals by the end of the 2016-17 campaign but to be frank, they do not look like putting together another 90-point season this year.
Atletico Madrid was handcuffed by a transfer ban, the path would seem to be clear for Zinedine Zidane to continue one of the most remarkable starts to a managerial career in memory.
Madrid's starting line-up remains the same and no player within it looks like getting any worse over the next nine months.
And they are not standing still, either, thanks to the surge of young talent rising to increasingly influential roles of Spanish duo Isco and Marco Asensio.
Many have noted that Madrid are beating Barcelona at their own game, having assembled inarguably the most talented group of midfielders in world football.
They have benefitted from the guidance of perhaps the most qualified teacher of that position on the planet and the title would seem to be theirs to lose.
