December was a triumphant month for Real Madrid, who won every game in the Champions League and La Liga. The game against Sevilla which must be played on December 20th has been postponed to allow the Real Madrid prepare the FIFA Club World Cup 2014. Once this competition ended Real Madrid will go on vacation and will not play any games until next January 4th against Valencia at Mestalla Stadium.
All those victories in La Liga place Real Madrid as the favorite to be crowned with the Spanish title this year.
