With only four games remaining in the 2024–25 season, Barcelona and Real Madrid are pulling away from Atlético Madrid in the La Liga title race.
Up until April, the fight for the Spanish crown looked like it would come down to a photo-finish between Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid. All three sides took turns leading La Liga and often had just one or two points separating them atop the table.
Over the last month, though, Atlético Madrid saw themselves fall out of the title race. Diego Simeone's men have dropped points in five of their last eight league matches, most recently against Alavés in a goalless draw, and now sit 12 points behind Barcelona.
The Catalans, meanwhile, have enjoyed an unbeaten La Liga run in 2025. Even with a heavily rotated side this weekend, Barcelona still managed a 2–1 victory over Real Valladolid. Real Madrid responded with a 3–2 victory over Celta Vigo to keep the pressure on their bitter rivals.
