If Diego Martínez is asked, he will say that the important thing is the 20 points - more or less half of what Granada needs to save from the category - obtained in the first quarter of LaLiga. Records worthy of closed winter harvested already in October and with 25 degrees in the city. But above the cold data of the points, the impact is to see Granada at the top of the table, leader alone after 10 days of competition. It is true that the data has a small trap, that if the classic had been played this weekend the leader would be Barcelona or Real Madrid. But what does that matter to a feat of this caliber?

His victory on Sunday against Betis, which leaves Rubi tremendously touched, raised the Andalusian team to the altars. According to Mister Chip, Granada had only been the leader of Primera once, on the fifth day of 73/74. And only two other newly promoted in the entire history of the competition have reached the tenth day at the top of the table: Lightning and Pontevedra.

But it is after the revision of the large numbers that the real feat of Granada becomes aware. According to the Transfermarkt portal, it has, long, the template with the lowest market value in the category, even lower than that of four Second clubs. It is also the third team with the lowest salary limit (after Valladolid and Mallorca) and also the fourth that has spent less this summer on signings (after the previous two and Athletic).

"The classification is anecdotal", insisted Vadillo, author of the goal that reported to Granada his sixth victory in ten games. Surely it is, but nobody can snatch from the Andalusian club the dream of being - at least - two days at the top of Spanish football.
