Real Madrid and Barcelona are in a tight race to conquer La Liga. Throughout the entire tournament, Carlo Ancelottiās team has had Girona as their main rival, but in recent weeks, Xaviās squad has closed the gap.
BarƧa are the defending champions and, with the arrival of names like Ilkay Gundogan and Joao Felix, they were supposed to be closer to the top. At some point in the season, the crisis was so severe that Xavi Hernandez confirmed he will leave his position as coach next summer.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are one of the best teams in Europe with an explosive trident: Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo. Despite being eliminated early from Copa del Rey, they are favorites in La Liga and the main adversary of Manchester City in the Champions League.
