Incredible! FC Barcelona crushes Real Madrid with a 20-goal lead

FC Barcelona under Hansi Flick maintains the lead in LaLiga EA Sports 2024-25 with goals and great play. On Sunday, the culés crushed Girona again (4-1) to reach 66 points, recovering their 3-point lead over Real Madrid, while Atlético Madrid has practically said goodbye to the championship, sitting 10 points behind the azulgrana team.

Moreover, Hansi Flick's team continues to extend their advantage in goal difference. Thanks to the rout in the Catalan derby, Barça reached 82 goals in 29 matches, 20 more than Madrid (62) and 35 above Atlético (47). The azulgrana's goal difference is +54, while the 'merengues' remain at +33 after their controversial narrow victory over Leganés (3-2).

The 'rojiblancos', although they maintain the least scored defense (23), only manage a +24 at the moment. In this sense, Barcelona has notably improved their defensive performance, conceding only 6 goals in the last 10 matchdays, where the team has accumulated 9 consecutive victories thanks to a spectacular balance of 31 goals scored. 

Barça is nine matchdays away from the league title

Along with the advantage of goal difference, Barça maintains an extra point advantage over Madrid and Atlético due to the direct confrontation. Flick's team won 5-4 in the head-to-head against the 'colchoneros' after the victory at the Metropolitano (2-4), while the score against the White House is 4-0 after the rout at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Hence, the Classic in matchday 35 could be decisive for the championship. Another azulgrana victory will likely seal the title in favor of the culés, as long as the team arrives with an advantage in the standings for that match. Before the clash against Madrid, Barça must face Betis (home), Leganés (away), Celta (home), Mallorca (home), and Valladolid (away). After the Classic, they will visit Espanyol, host Villarreal, and go to San Mamés (Athletic).
