This is how LaLiga stands after the Barça and Real Madrid matches

FC Barcelona suffered a painful 'stumble' on matchday sixteen of LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25. The Blaugrana team visited Betis and could not go beyond a draw at the Benito Villamarín (2-2). However, Hansi Flick's team maintains the sole lead (38) with a distance of 2 points over their closest pursuer, Real Madrid, who defeated Girona away (0-3).

Despite goals from Ferran Torres and Lewandowski, the Blaugranas could not prevent the Verdiblancos from equalizing thanks to goals from Lo Celso and Diao. For their part, the Merengues achieved an important victory with goals from Jude Bellingham, Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappé, while Atlético de Madrid will seek to get fully into the race for the top this Sunday, December 8 against Sevilla.

Athletic Club, who also have a game in hand, are fourth before hosting Villarreal (5th) in Bilbao in the fight for the Champions League spots. Behind them is Mallorca despite falling to Celta, and below the red-and-whites is Osasuna (7th) before facing Alavés at home.

Barça remain leaders of LaLiga despite the draw

Girona remain in eighth place after their defeat against Madrid, while Real Sociedad remain in ninth position before their visit to Leganés. Meanwhile, Celta are tenth after being defeated by Mallorca.

Betis fall to eleventh place and Rayo are twelfth thanks to their victory against Valencia. Sevilla are 13th awaiting their match against Atleti, and Las Palmas are already fourteenth after beating Valladolid. Meanwhile, Leganés is fifteenth before hosting Real, overtaking an Alavés that remains in sixteenth position one day before traveling to Osasuna.

On the verge of the last positions is Getafe (17th), with Espanyol, Valencia and Valladolid occupying the relegation places. The matchday will end next Monday, December 9, with the clash between the blue and the pericos.
