Bernabeu Absence Hits Real Madrid's League Lead Hard
2 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Real Madrid has endured six consecutive away games due to stadium renovations.
- The team lost its LaLiga leadership and five-point advantage over Barcelona.
- Recent away form includes three draws and a single victory in the last five matches.
Real Madrid's grip on the LaLiga leadership has loosened considerably during an extended period playing away from the Santiago Bernabeu. The iconic stadium's temporary use for an NFL event necessitated six consecutive away matches for the team. This prolonged absence from home has proven costly, as Real Madrid has surrendered their once commanding five-point lead over Barcelona.
The team's recent away form paints a concerning picture, marked by three draws in their last three league outings. Prior to this streak, their away record in the last five matches, which included victories earlier in the season, now only shows a single hard-fought win. This dip in performance underscores the challenge of maintaining momentum without the support of their home fans.
With the team eager to return to the Bernabeu, the current situation highlights the significant impact of playing exclusively on the road. The upcoming match at San Mames marks the end of this difficult away stretch, offering a chance for Real Madrid to regain their footing and re-establish their dominance.
