MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid and Barcelona have long dominated Laliga, with 15 of the last 17 titles between them, but times may be changing.
After the success enjoyed by the Spanish giants, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo leading the charge, their run of titles was broken last season by Atletico Madrid for the second time in eight years and that could signal a new era.
Real Sociedad are not the only surprise package of the season. Rayo Vallecano and Osasuna, who are both tied with Atletico on 19 points, took points off Barcelona and Real Madrid respectively in midweek LaLiga action. Osasuna have been as impressive as Rayo but their biggest accomplishments have come away from home. They have the best LaLiga record on the road this season, having won all of their away games until Wednesday's 0-0 draw at Real Madrid.
As for Barcelona, they will host Alaves in the late game with Sergi Barjuan, the coach of Barca B, in charge as caretaker manager while the club try to hire Xavi Hernandez.
