Calendar of FC Barcelona

The LaLiga EA Sports classification begins to show a notable difference between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid with the rest of the teams in the highest competition of Spanish football. On Saturday, the 'merengues' did their homework by defeating Villarreal (2-0), a result that allows Carlo Ancelotti's men to equal the Barça team at the top of the table with 21 points, four more than the 'Yellow Submarine' '.

The goals from Fede Valverde and Vinicius Jr. allowed the whites to resolve a fairly even match that ended with a rather bitter taste due to the serious injury suffered by Dani Carvajal towards the end. While waiting for medical tests to confirm the extent of the injury, everything points to a rupture of the cruciate ligament in the right knee of '2'. On Saturday, Espanyol (2-1 against Mallorca), Celta (0-1 against Las Palmas) and Rayo (1-2 against Valladolid) also added 3 points, while Getafe and Osasuna did not go beyond a draw in Madrid (0- 0).

With these results, Barça and Madrid lead with 21 points. Villarreal is third (17), while Atlético remains in fourth place (16). Osasuna is fifth (15) with one point more than Athletic (14), followed by Mallorca (14), Rayo (13), Celta (13) and Betis (12). In eleventh position is Alavés (10), followed by Espanyol (10), Girona (9), Sevilla (9), Getafe (8), Real Sociedad (8) and Leganés (8). Valencia (6), Valladolid (5) and Las Palmas (3) follow in relegation positions.

Barça will seek to regain its 3-point advantage in Vitoria

After Madrid's victory, culés and 'merengues' share the lead with 21 points, although the team led by Hansi Flick is still first for having a better goal difference (+16, while Madrid was +13). Barça can regain the 3-point advantage in the lead this Sunday if they defeat Alavés (16.15). Rounding out matchday 9 are the duels Girona vs. Athletic, Sevilla vs. Betis and Real Sociedad-Atlético.
