Real Madrid Hands LaLiga to Barça, They Can Win It in El Clásico

Real Madrid Could Pay Dearly for Their Defeat Against Valencia at Santiago Bernabéu

Real Madrid's defeat at home against Valencia in the 30th matchday of LaLiga has once again altered the landscape in LaLiga. The white team left the path clearer for Barcelona, although it will still depend on what the blaugranas do this Saturday against Betis.

Real Madrid let the three points slip away for the fifth time this season, and if the Barça match turns out favorable, they could end the week six points behind. There are 24 points left to play and a Clásico in Montjuïc that could be crucial.

What Matches Does Real Madrid Have Left in LaLiga?

Real Madrid has a demanding schedule ahead. After the first leg of the Champions League against Arsenal, Ancelotti's team will face Alavés in Mendizorroza. After the return leg against the Londoners, another challenge will come against Athletic, always tough at Bernabéu.

Regardless of what happens in the Champions League, the visit to Getafe will be before the Copa del Rey final against FC Barcelona. After that, Celta de Vigo will be the next to visit Santiago Bernabéu, before another league Clásico, this time at the culé's home ground.

Finally, Real Madrid will have several tough commitments at the end of the season, starting with a home match against Mallorca. Then, the team will travel to Sánchez Pizjuán to face Sevilla, a rival always challenging in their stadium. Finally, they will close the campaign at home against Real Sociedad, a team that also promises to be a significant challenge in the final stretch.

Barça Could Clinch the Title Against Real Madrid

Coincidence or not, Barça could lift the league title on May 11 during Real Madrid's visit to the Ciudad Condal. The league match will be two weeks after the Copa del Rey final at La Cartuja.

For that to happen, FC Barcelona will have to win all their matches until the day of the Clásico. The culé team faces Real Betis, Celta, and Mallorca in Montjuïc and will travel to Leganés and Valladolid. Not so challenging matches for Hansi Flick's team, who could lift the title if they beat Real Madrid in May.

There is also the possibility that Real Madrid drops points until the day of the Clásico. In that case, the culé team could win LaLiga earlier than expected if they also don't drop points in any match.
