What Does Barcelona Need to Become Champions Today?
FC Barcelona could secure the LaLiga 2024/2025 title depending on Real Madrid’s result and their performance in the Catalan derby.
A Favorable Scenario for the Blaugrana
FC Barcelona, led by Hansi Flick, currently sits atop the LaLiga standings with 82 points, holding a seven-point lead over Real Madrid, who have 75. With only three matches remaining in the season, the title is within reach for the Catalan club.
To officially be crowned champions today, Barcelona needs Real Madrid to drop points in their match against Mallorca. A draw or loss for the Madrid side would immediately grant the league title to the Blaugrana, regardless of Barcelona’s own match result.
Catalan Derby Could Seal the Title
If Real Madrid wins their match, Barcelona will still have a clear opportunity to clinch the league in the upcoming fixture against Espanyol. A win in the Catalan derby would mathematically secure the title, making any remaining Real Madrid matches irrelevant.
Additionally, Barcelona has the advantage in head-to-head results against Real Madrid this season, meaning that in case of a points tie, they would still come out on top.
National Treble Within Reach
Winning LaLiga would cap off an extraordinary domestic season for Barcelona, who already lifted the Supercopa de España and the Copa del Rey. This would mark a perfect start to the Hansi Flick era, giving him a treble in his first year at the helm.
