With Real Madrid's victory against Villarreal at La Cerámica (1-2), FC Barcelona is required to defeat Atlético de Madrid on Sunday to regain the top spot in the LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25 standings. The 'merengue' team earned three very valuable points on the field of the 'Yellow Submarine' thanks to a brace from Kylian Mbappé that allows them to temporarily reclaim first place in the standings, although with two more matches than Barça.

Thus, Real Madrid is first with 60 points after 28 matches, while Barça remains with 57 after 26 matches played. Atlético de Madrid dropped to third place last matchday after their loss to Getafe (2-1) and has 56 points, one behind the blaugranas and four below the 'merengues'. If Barça defeats Atleti at the Metropolitano, they will rise back to first place, thanks to their advantage in goal difference (46 to 32) and the head-to-head matchup (4-0).
