LaLiga Standings: Real Madrid Stay Ahead as Barcelona, Girona Battle for European Spots

The LaLiga Race: Real Madrid Tighten Their Grip

The LaLiga table just got a whole lot more interesting. After a flurry of dramatic games, Real Madrid have cemented their place at the summit with a staggering 95 points from 38 matches. They’ve been a force lately, taking all three points in tough games against Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal, and Leganés. That run—especially the clutch goal that saw off Atlético Madrid—signals their determination not to let the top spot slip away as the season reaches its final stretch.

Barcelona, sitting second with 85 points, aren’t giving up without a fight. Their draw in the last round was frustrating, but they're still clinging to faint hopes as they prepare to face Mallorca. It’s a must-win if they want to keep any pressure on Madrid. Over in third, Girona have turned heads with an unexpectedly strong campaign, collecting 81 points and staying in the Champions League picture.

Down the table, Atlético Madrid are enduring a patchy period yet holding firm in fourth with 76 points. Athletic Club sit fifth on 68, clear of the chasing pack for now but by no means safe. Villarreal nipping at their heels sees the European chase heating up, with every point crucial at this stage.

Who Can Still Make Europe?

With Barcelona and Real Madrid grabbing the headlines, it’s easy to forget the scramble happening just below. Villarreal’s late surge threatens Athletic Club’s hold on a Champions League berth. Mallorca and Osasuna have also cranked up the pressure, sneaking into realistic contention for a spot in Europe next season. Every win (or draw) changes things; the standings have become a shifting puzzle as teams fight for points, pride, and an international stage.

The next round throws up some massive fixtures: Barcelona’s date with Mallorca feels like a must-win, while Real Madrid can’t afford to slip up when they line up against Getafe. The domino effect is real—one upset, and everything below the top two can rearrange. Supporters and pundits alike are calculating every scenario: Will Madrid cruise to the finish? Can Barcelona find a miracle? Might Villarreal or Athletic Club sneak past for a bumper payday in Europe?

• Real Madrid: 95 pts, champions-in-waiting if they keep winning.
• Barcelona: 85 pts, clinging to slim hopes but looking over their shoulder.
• Girona: 81 pts, enjoying their best season and dreaming big.
• Atlético Madrid: 76 pts, needing a big finish to avoid missing out on the Champions League.
• Athletic Club: 68 pts, battling Villarreal in a duel for Europe.

So, the final weeks offer high stakes at both top and middle of the league: will the giants finish the job, or can someone crash the party and snatch the last European ticket? Expect a rollercoaster until the final whistle.
