MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid remain in the driving seat in LaLiga's title race but after dropping points in consecutive weeks Carlo Ancelotti's side have seen what seemed a comfortable lead suddenly vanish, leaving them with a battle to retain their crown.
The leaders head to Pamplona to face Osasuna on Saturday with 50 points, one point ahead of Atletico, with third-placed Barcelona another point back and firmly in the title race.
