Winning at Mestalla Had a Double Reward for Madrid: 3 Points and Historic Achievement

Real Madrid's victory at Mestalla was one of the most important tasks the Meringues had to accomplish at the beginning of the year. Not only because of defeating such an important rival as Valencia, but also for finally becoming leaders in the competition. However, it seems there was an achievement behind all this that some overlooked and that is also very important.

With these three points, Real Madrid becomes the first team in the entire history of LaLiga to surpass 5,000 points. This is in the historical ranking by Spanish teams, where Real Madrid leads by a considerable margin. A fact that only continues to enlarge the history of a club that is already gigantic.

Reaching 5,000 points in total for the first time in the Spanish competition is an achievement only within Real Madrid's reach. Something that definitely speaks well about how this team has strengthened over the past few years. 

Another achievement for history

The white team has been making history in all the competitions it has participated in for several years. Obviously, here in the local competition, it wasn't going to miss out on the maximum possible points in Spain's history.

In this list, Real Madrid is first with 5,002 points, followed by Fútbol Club Barcelona with 4,887. They are followed by legendary teams like Atlético de Madrid with 4,018, Athletic Club de Bilbao with 3,771, Valencia with 3,767, and Sevilla with 3,265.

The race to reach 5,000 points is still quite long for the teams that want to compete with the white team. Additionally, reaching it is simply impossible, even for Barcelona. 

Keep adding up

As is already known, to win this league, they have to keep adding up in all the upcoming matches, which further increases this ranking. Therefore, they have to keep adding as much as possible to continue increasing and now reach 6,000.
