Sunday 26-04-2026
Barcelona, led by Hans Flick, continues to deliver strong performances in the Spanish league, distancing themselves by 11 points from their rival Real Madrid in the standings.

Reports indicated that Barcelona managed to collect 13 more points than the team managed by Álvaro Arbeloa in just 69 days, after Real Madrid topped the standings on February 16, following Barcelona's loss to Girona 2-1.

According to the Spanish newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', Real Madrid had reached the top of La Liga with 60 points after 24 rounds, leading by two points over Barcelona, which had 58 points at that time.

The reports also explained that Arbeloa, who took over Real Madrid on January 12, succeeding Xabi Alonso, started strongly with the team by collecting a full 15 points from 5 consecutive matches.

During that period, Real Madrid defeated Levante, Villarreal, Rayo Vallecano, Valencia, and Real Sociedad, while Barcelona suffered the loss of 6 points against Real Sociedad and Girona.

However, after that, the scene completely turned in favor of Barcelona, achieving a series of consecutive victories, including wins over Levante, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao, Sevilla, Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid, Espanyol, Celta Vigo, and then Getafe.

Barcelona achieved 27 consecutive points out of a possible 27, scoring 22 goals while conceding only 5, according to reports.

In contrast, Real Madrid obtained 14 points out of 27 during the same period, after achieving 4 wins, 2 draws, and suffering 3 defeats, leading to the team's decline in the standings.

The figures show that Barcelona succeeded in turning a two-point deficit in favor of Real Madrid into an 11-point lead, within just 14 rounds, bringing them closer to clinching the Spanish league title.
