La Liga Standings: Did Barcelona Clinch League Championship Over Real Madrid?
Wow.
Who saw that coming?
Barcelona completely dominated Real Madrid from start to finish in Week 12, 4-0. It was one of the most lopsided scores in El Clasico history. Barcelona was the superior squad from start to finish while Real Madrid have now lost their second consecutive league game. Real Madrid fans couldn't be more furious with how their team performed at home, and "Cristiano Ronaldo return to English Premier League" rumors are swirling like wildfire.
Barcelona will take on Real Madrid once more this season, in Week 31, however that game will be played at the Camp Nou. Barcelona is a perfect 6-0 this season playing at home, and there's no reason to believe Real Madrid will defeat them in Week 31. Real Madrid hasn't beat Barcelona at the Camp Nou in a league game since 2012.
The only other club in the world that is playing at the same elite level right now appears to be Bayern Munich. Looks like we could see these two clubs face off in the UEFA Champions League again.
Of course there's still plenty of time remaining in this season, but things don't look very promising for Real Madrid. Barcelona is getting their best player back, and it doesn't look like they will surrender that first place lead anytime soon.
