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>. Both teams won in the match prior to the Spanish Super Cup, Bar\u00e7a on Saturday at Espanyol’s ground (0-2)<\/a> and Los Blancos on Sunday against Betis at the Bernab\u00e9u (5-1).<\/p>

Xabi Alonso’s team arrived at the duel against the ‘Verdiblancos’ under the pressure of being 7 points behind Bar\u00e7a and without Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> available due to injury. However, an afternoon to forget for the Betis defense and a ‘hat-trick’ from Gonzalo Garc\u00eda<\/a> set the stage for the locals’ ‘five-goal haul’.<\/p>

Ra\u00fal Asencio<\/strong> and Fran Garc\u00eda<\/strong> also scored for Madrid, while Cucho Hern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> scored for a Betis that only reacted when the score was 3-0 in favor of the Whites. With the victory, Real reaches 45 points and remains 4 behind Bar\u00e7a (49)<\/strong>. Villarreal is third with 38 and a couple of games in hand, while Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid closes the ‘Champions zone’ with 37 units<\/p>
