FC Barcelona<\/strong> maintained their lead at the top of LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/a> in matchday 16. The Blaugrana’s victory against Osasuna<\/strong> (2-0) had put Real Madrid 7 points behind the leaders, but Xabi Alonso’s team reacted on Sunday with a hard-fought win in Vitoria against Alav\u00e9s<\/strong> (1-2)<\/p>

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/strong> put Xabi Alonso’s team ahead in the 24th minute, but Carlos Vicente<\/strong> equalized in the 67th minute. Finally, a goal from Rodrygo<\/a> in the 76th minute ended a streak of two consecutive defeats for the ‘merengues’, who a week ago had fallen at the Bernab\u00e9u against Celta<\/strong> (0-2)<\/p>

Now, the blaugrana team (43) maintains a 4-point lead over Real Madrid <\/strong>(39). Atl\u00e9tico <\/strong>also won on Saturday against Valencia <\/strong>(2-1), but remains far from the lead. The ‘colchoneros’ have 34 points, 9 less than Bar\u00e7a, and remain behind Villarreal <\/strong>(35)<\/p>

The ‘Yellow Submarine’ has 35 units before hosting the Catalans next matchday. Furthermore, they have two games in hand and, if they win in Matchday 17 against Bar\u00e7a<\/a>, they would have a chance to take the lead in January, when the rest of Matchday 19 is played<\/p>
