Bar\u00e7a is one win away from winning LaLiga, but they can celebrate even before their next match if Madrid stumbles against Mallorca<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona’s victory against Real Madrid in the Cl\u00e1sico (4-3)<\/a> leaves Hansi Flick’s team just one win away from lifting their 28th LaLiga title. With only three matchdays to go, the ‘merengues’ are 7 points behind.<\/p>

In that sense, matchday 36 can seal the title for the Blaugrana team, even before the Espanyol-Bar\u00e7a match, on Thursday in Cornell\u00e0. Although the Bar\u00e7a team depends on themselves to be champions, one win away (they will have a 7-point advantage with only 6 to play for), they could arrive with the title in their hands at the Catalan derby<\/strong>.<\/p>

And, if Madrid does not defeat Mallorca on Wednesday at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u<\/strong>, Bar\u00e7a will be able to celebrate regardless of what happens in the remaining three matchdays. The reason is very simple.<\/p>

Beyond the 7-point advantage and the 9 at stake, Flick’s team has an additional advantage thanks to the overwhelming difference in the head-to-head record<\/strong>.<\/p>

The global score in the Liga Cl\u00e1sicos ended 8-3 in favor of the Catalans<\/strong>, who also have a comfortable advantage in goal difference (+59 and +35).<\/p>

If Madrid, for example, draws against Mallorca on Wednesday, they will be 6 points behind Barcelona<\/strong>. Even if the Catalans lose their remaining three matches, the Whites, in the best of cases, would equal the Blaugrana’s line (82 points).<\/p>

However, according to LaLiga’s tiebreaker criteria, Bar\u00e7a already has an insurmountable advantage for the ‘merengues’ in case of finishing with the same points.<\/p>

In the first round, Barcelona thrashed Madrid at the Bernab\u00e9u (0-4). With the victory in Montju\u00efc (4-3), the Cul\u00e9s completed a historic clean sweep in the same season, with four victories and a global score of 16-4<\/a> which, in addition, will allow Flick’s team to keep the three titles at stake.<\/p>

  1. \u2705 Real Madrid draws or loses on Wednesday against Mallorca.<\/li> \t

    \ud83d\udd1dBar\u00e7a crushes Real Madrid in the head-to-head and leaves them without titles in 24\/25<\/h2>

    And, thanks to the victories in Liga, Copa del Rey (3-2) and Spanish Super Cup (2-5), Bar\u00e7a is about to win the three domestic titles<\/strong>, while Madrid will complete its first ‘nothing-plete’ since 2021.<\/p>

    The Whites aspired to win everything after the signing of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, but they completed a disastrous season as a result of poor sports planning<\/strong>, multiple injuries in defense and the lack of signings in the last two markets.<\/p>

    Bar\u00e7a, on the other hand, closes a great season in a year that many assumed would be one of transition. The team came close to the treble, being 2 minutes away from the Champions League final<\/a><\/strong> and, with a young squad and an extraordinary job by the coaching staff, managed to crush the ‘merengues’ in the head-to-head.<\/p>

    Hence, the balance of 24\/25 is very positive for the Cul\u00e9s and absolutely worrying for the Whites. The arrival of Xabi Alonso supposes the beginning of a cycle that, in addition, will have to go hand in hand with a deep renovation of the squad to try to compete head-to-head with a Barcelona clearly superior this season on the field.<\/p>
