FC Barcelona<\/strong> maintains the lead in LaLiga EA Sports 2025\/26<\/a> on matchday 18, still with a 4-point lead over Real Madrid<\/strong>. The victory of Hansi Flick<\/strong>‘s team in Villarreal<\/strong> (0-2) ensured that the Catalans would finish the first half of the tournament as winter champions, although matchday 18 and the bulk of matchday 19 are yet to be played, where so far only the four teams from the Spanish Super Cup have played<\/p>

A goal from Raphinha<\/a>, from a penalty, put Bar\u00e7a ahead against Villarreal in a first half where Marcelino Garc\u00eda’s team finished with ten men after the expulsion of Renato Veiga<\/strong>. In the second half, Lamine Yamal<\/strong> extended the lead in the 63rd minute to seal the match half an hour before the end<\/p>

This way, Bar\u00e7a reaches 46 points, 4 more than Real Madrid (42)<\/strong> and nine ahead of Atl\u00e9tico (37). Villarreal now drops to fourth place with 35 units, but with two fewer games than the ‘colchoneros’. LaLiga will resume action on January 2, 2026, after the year-end break.<\/p>
