This is the FC Barcelona era, an era that seems to be coming to an end thanks to Zinedine Zidane who came in right on time to make Real Madrid competitive again. Los Blancos have struggled in the last decade, out of the last 10 La Liga tournaments, they have only been able to win three of them. Since Barcelona and Messi started dominating the competition, they have only won the 2011-2012 tournament and nothing else apart from the two Champions League and Copa del Rey.
But this season all that can change thanks to Zidane's arrival, Real Madrid have turned into a winning machine and Roberto Carlos who played with Zizou thinks this is the perfect moment for them to finally claim dominance in La Liga. He told Omnisport that: "Madrid recently have entered into a dynamic of winning the Champions League. If Madrid can successfully juggle the league as well as the Champions League and the cups then I think we could win all three. I think the most important thing this year is to win the league as it has been too long since we have been champions."
He added: "Everybody is playing well so far. Six points ahead gives you a bit of breathing space but not too much. It's a very difficult and long season. The gap allows the team to push on in search of the title. Obviously it has a big part to do with Zidane but also the entire technical staff. Madrid are now a very well-organised team in attack and defense and that's the reason why the team has gone so long without losing a match. Even though the atmosphere was good under the previous manager [Rafael Benitez], the results weren't coming. With the arrival of Zidane the team evolved a lot and that's why I think the team has got this advantage so early in the season over its competitors.
"From the beginning of the season the team has shown a very positive growth. Playing at Camp Nou is always very difficult. If we can get a win like we did last year, it will give even more confidence to the team and help us distance ourselves even more from our rivals, because to be the champions of LaLiga you have to win away at the hardest of stadiums and one of those is Camp Nou. It's not that Barcelona are playing badly, the other teams playing against them have been playing very well.
"It's obvious that if we win at Camp Nou we stretch the lead to nine points. It's not that the league is decided but it will be a very big statement and it will provide a nice buffer for the team. I played so many Clasicos but the feeling of when you lose is the same as losing the World Cup final. No one ever likes to lose matches of that magnitude."
