The LaLiga title race could reach a decisive conclusion today as Barcelona play Real Madrid in Matchday 35. It all seems to be set up for ‘Los Cules‘ to get another piece of silverware amid ‘Los Blancos‘ struggles.
Barcelona come as the clear-cut favorites not only to win the game, but to end up as the LaLiga champions too. The fact is they’ve been atop of the standings for most part of the season, and having the chance to reach the title against their bitter rivals is exciting for them.
Real Madrid of course don’t want this to happen. However, they will have to deal with this without Fede Valverde, who will miss the Barcelona Clasico after the fight with Aurelien Tchouameni.
What happens if Barcelona beat Real Madrid today?
A win for Barcelona against Real Madrid on Matchday 35 of LaLiga would put Barcelona at 91 points, with Madrid staying at 77. This would mean Barcelona would be unreachable, and would therefore win the LaLiga title.

This is the only scenario where the LaLiga title race would remain open. Real Madrid would have an 8-point deficit so mathematically it could still be possible for them to overcome Barcelona, but Barcelona would still have a commanding lead.
