Only seven games remain in the 2025–26 La Liga season, with bitter rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid once again headlining the title race, one that will have to wait a little longer to resume.
Barcelona hold a nine-point advantage over Real Madrid at the summit after Los Blancos’ underwhelming draw against Girona allowed Barça to capitalize in the Catalan derby with Espanyol a day later. It will take a mighty comeback for Álvaro Arbeloa’s men to dethrone the Blaugrana, who now own the biggest lead of the season.
