Real's secret to success? Late goals

If Real Madrid do win La Liga this year, they'll owe a lot to that old trope of how "when the going gets tough, the tough get going." It is a cliche, but it's almost eerie how often this team manages to get out of jams when you expect them to lose points.
Indeed, this season, they've scored a whopping 24 goals (26 percent of their total) after the 75th minute, and 11 of those goals helped them gain points. Incidentally, it's not just a league phenomenon for them: overall, they've scored 41 of their 151 goals this season with 10 minutes or less remaining.

It happened again away to Valencia. Zinedine Zidane's men showed some rust. They had a scare when Santi Mina hit the post but took the lead through Cristiano Ronaldo, watched as Diego Alves saved a dubious penalty (and plenty more) and then found themselves up against it when Parejo equalised with eight minutes to go.

It was left to the magnificent Marcelo, hitting form just as the season enters its stretch run, to notch the winner. Three huge points to keep them on track and another late, late reaction when it mattered most.
