At this point of the season, La Liga has been pretty much decided, but there is still some intrigue elsewhere in the table. We are three-quarters of the way through the season and Barcelona has still not dropped a match. Barcelona is 11 points clear of Atletico Madrid with nine games left to play and looks like it has the domestic title in the bag. ...
It’s going to be tough for Atletico Madrid to catch Barcelona for the La Liga title, but they are going to try. With 10 matches left in La Liga action this year, Atleti are eight points behind Barcelona. The club had a chance to narrow the margin two weeks ago, but it’s always going to be difficult to get the win in Camp Nou. ...
Sevilla’s hopes of returning to the Champions League are down to this. A rough stretch in the middle of the season moved Sevilla out of the top four and now they are eight points back of their opponent on Saturday, Valencia. After this game, there are only 10 matches left in La Liga, so if Sevilla doesn’t get a victory, it’s going to be hard for them to make up ground on Valencia. Look for them to press early in order to try to get this crucial win....
Many of the top leagues in the world are already essentially decided at this point, but there is still a heated battle at the top of La Liga.Currently, Barcelona sits all alone in first place. Barcelona have been a perennial contender for the Spanish title during the Lionel Messi era and are favored by many to win another La Liga banner this season. They have yet to drop a match with a 20-6-0 rating and a +56 goal differential....
Two of the top teams in La Liga will square off on Sunday with plenty on the line. Atletico Madrid is desperately trying to catch Barcelona and claim some hardware this season. Atletico crashed out of Champions League rather spectacularly, but they are currently in second place in La Liga. However, they are seven points back of Barcelona and need to start closing the gap if they are to have any chance of winning the league....
La Liga is Barcelona’s to lose at this point. Barcelona has tore through the rest of Spain, tallying 59 points in 23 games. They still don’t have a number in the loss column in domestic play and are looking to be the first team in a while to finish a season without a blemish....
There isn't anything quite like El Clasico.Real Madrid and Barcelona are consistently the two most dominant teams in La Liga, and they'll renew their rivalry on Saturday in Madrid. With Los Blancos struggling this season, Barca could legitimately put the whole Liga away if they can go on the road and pick up three massive points....
Real Madrid and Barcelona are virtually always at the top of La Liga, and this year is no exception. This year though, this first edition of El Clasico might as well be the entire season for the Catalan side. They need three points in this one in the worst way, or La Liga will officially be a runaway.This La Liga duel will go down Saturday, December 3, 2016, at 10:15 a.m. ET at Camp Nou. The match will be televised live on beIN Sports....
If we're being honest, there are only so many La Liga matches which truly matter when you talk about winning the Spanish league. One of those though, is the Madrid Derby between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. The first edition of the Madrid Derby will take place on Saturday at the Vicente Calderon, and it's probably the best and last chance even so early in the season that the Atleti have to run down the top dogs in Spain....
By its own standard, Barcelona really didn't have a fantastic season. Sure, the team won its La Liga title, but it also bowed out of the Champions League in the quarterfinals, far too early for sure, and it nearly collapsed away the league title with just one point to spare against Real Madrid and three against Atletico Madrid. Still, with the La Liga title in hand, the Catalan side can still rescue a double this year if it can beat Sevilla in the Copa del Rey finale on Sunday....
Barcelona has taken control of La Liga. The Catalans are level in points with their foes on Saturday, Atletico Madrid, and they've got a game in hand as well. If either side takes all three points in this bitter rivalry, it could go a long way towards determining Spain's champion....
Of all of the rivals all around the world in club soccer, there might not be more bitter rivals than Barcelona and Real Madrid.This game is called El Clasico for a reason, and it should once again be a huge day in La Liga on Saturday when these two enormous teams go to battle....
