It's taken just over a season, but finally Jose Mourinho is sat at the top of the Primera Liga table. Barcelona's slip-up last week, when they could only draw 0-0 with Sociedad, gave the Madrilenos a chance to hit the top of the table, and its a chance they took with both hands!

Obviously there is still a long way to go, with it being only October, but the signs are there that Madrid can become the dominant force in Spanish football.

Striker Gonzalo Higuain is adamant that the team are where they belong to be, but warns that the team and the fans must be patient, and continue to work hard for each other as they have doen so far this season.

"This is when we have to be more relaxed than ever. We are first as a result of our hard work, but there's a long way to go. We have to continue with humility, perseverance and a cool head," he said, according to Marca.
