Following another outstanding performance against Espanyol, by winning 2-0, it’s clear Real Madrid are alive in LaLiga this season. But this result leaves Barcelona in a position to secure the title in the upcoming Spanish Clasico, set to be played on May 10.
The stakes were high for Madrid’s clash with Espanyol, with Barça fans watching closely to see if they could officially put the title race to bed before the season came to an end. After the dust settled, Real Madrid’s championship aspirations took a hopeful turn, shifting all eyes to the upcoming El Clasico.
Barcelona’s gritty 2-1 road win over Mallorca put them on the doorstep of the trophy, rendering Madrid’s result against Espanyol nearly academic. However, the victory keeps Real Madrid alive for the remainder games.
Barcelona could claim their 29th LaLiga title
With the possibility of Real Madrid dropping points in El Clasico, Barcelona would secure their 29th La Liga title, narrowing the gap on Los Merengues’ record of 36. The potential triumph could serve as a definitive statement of Barça’s current dominance in Spanish domestic soccer.
Despite early exits from the Champions League and Copa del Rey, Barcelona maintained a comfortable cushion over a Madrid side that failed to find its rhythm. For Real Madrid, the 2025-26 campaign could end in disappointment as the club could finish the season without a major trophy.
What’s left for the giants?
The two heavyweights will meet in the next Matchday for a derby in LaLiga that will certainly not lack intensity. Once the clock stops in Spain for the world’s biggest rivalry, both clubs will look to close out their remaining schedules.
Remaining schedules:
- Barcelona

- at Alaves
- vs. Real Betis
