Real Madrid enjoying their largest LaLiga lead in 25 years

Not only did Real Madrid avoid seeing their two-point lead shrink in the Madrid derby on Saturday night, they also managed to extend their LaLiga edge over second place Barcelona to four points.
Los Blancos cemented themselves as
the class of the competition with an indisputable 3-0 win against crosstown rivals Atletico Madrid, although the 12 fixtures played thus far do not even amount to one third of the full calendar.
The last time Madrid held a commanding four-point advantage through the first dozen matches dates back to the 1991/92 campaign, when wins were still worth only two points.
Emilio Butragueno and his teammates accumulated 23 points 25 years ago, while Los Rojiblancos were in second position with 19 points. However, Barcelona claimed the title that year by one point.
Furthermore, Zinedine Zidane's men prolonged their unbeaten streak to 29 matches, only five shy of the club record with Dutch coach Leo Beenhakker.
