Barça continues to assert dominance in LaLiga Santander, with the Catalans maintaining a stern grip on the standings. Even though Xavi’s squad isn’t at its peak, they have made it clear they cannot loosen their hold on the domestic race after their European exit. They have already carved out a nine-point cushion over Real Madrid, and barring a major collapse, they look poised to clinch the title without much drama.

Two other Champions League slots are currently claimed by Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad. Simeone’s side secured third place at the Metropolitano after a victory over Sevilla. Sheriff’s team, meanwhile, is fighting through a scoring drought. The two Europa League berths have so far been held by Betis and Villarreal.
Drama continues below the top tier. The red lantern remains with Elche, who have reached 13 points after a win at Mallorca, while Valencia find themselves in a precarious spot just above the relegation zone. The fight for the remaining European places is tight, with Almería occupying the third spot despite being tied on points with Sevilla and Getafe. Cádiz holds a single precious win, while Valladolid, Celta, and Espanyol are in the mix near the bottom end of the table.
