This season has seen the return of Real Madrid's strength at home, with the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu becoming a fortress again.
Since the arrival of Julen Lopetegui, a single point is yet to be dropped as Getafe, Leganes, Roma and Espanyol have all succumbed to the power of Los Blancos.
The new coach made improving home form a clear objective from the off and there has been a marked improvement on last season's start, which saw two draws and a defeat from the first three league games - which all but ended the title fight by September.
In total, Real Madrid lost 17 points from a possible 57 on home turf in 2017/18 with 12 wins, three draws and four defeats, the worst record since 2006/07.
In the Copa del Rey the form wasn't much better, knocked out after two draws and a defeat, with them all coming against minnows.
A draw with Segunda Division B team Fuenlabrada, a second draw with Segunda Division side Numancia, both ending 2-2, and a 1-2 defeat to Leganes having won the first leg 1-0, knocked Real out on away goals.
In the Champions League
The poor home form also applied in Europe, with away form getting them to Kiev.
There was a draw with Tottenham in the group stages, then Los Blancos hung on by their fingernails to avoid a comeback from Juventus who won on the night, whilst in the semi-finals Bayern Munich also managed a 2-2 draw.
For now, this season has been an entirely different story, with four games leading to four victories for the home side.

Quiet. Too much touch in the center I see, as if the teams did not know how to play against that. We have already taken a draw in Bilbao and almost a draw yesterday with that kind of game. I hope that Lopetegui realizes and does not insist on his idea
Well we tied with Bilbao last season too

And of course people saying that "Rela MAdrid can not protest" so to continue swallowing. As Luis Enrique said, the VAR is the best thing that has happened to football in its history.

There may not be an egocentric, but there is a Ramos who now believes himself the untouchable superpower boss and, quoting himself: "Ignorance is very daring ..."

The robbery perpetrated since the beginning of the league last season for Madrid lost the league culminated with a work of art in the Metropolitan Wanda, where we were not whistled for an expulsion, 3 penalties and one of them was broken his nose to bouquets in the face of the referee and still bleeding to mucus lying did not whistle anything.Today, the Var is holding back the mafi DE MOMENTO

The Var, but above all, that this year we have a coach and there is no egocentric in the squad are the main differences ..., the one who does not want to see that he does not see it but is the reality.

Real Madrid have been canceled 2 legal goals in their last 2 games at the Bernabéu. Both rectified by the VAR. That is the difference of the Bernabéu with last year in September.

What did not change this year are the tears of Barcelona and the independence press, which has just started the league and are beginning to fill their pamphlets with headlines showing discontent with arbitration decisions, that does not change.

At the moment there is no need to throw the bells on the fly, although we must recognize that the results are good and Madrid is the average team that plays best in the league.

It must be said that if it is not for the VAR, we might also have left points in this one. LONG LIVE THE VAR!
