In numbers: Barcelona shows no mercy to its opponents in La Liga

Barcelona is very close to being officially declared the Spanish league champions for the current 2024-25 season, following the impressive performances they have shown under their German coach, Hansi Flick. Only two points remain (or less, in the event of a draw or loss for Real Madrid at home to Real Mallorca) to crown the Catalan team with its second La Liga title in three years, and its 28th in its history . Xavi Hernandez laid the foundation, giving the opportunity to a young generation that is now leading the team. The team has eliminated Real Madrid four times this season, and is the defending Champions League champion, considered invincible after the signing of Kylian Mbappé, but it fell to Barcelona . Barça's victory on Sunday is the fourth of four matches this season against its eternal rival, and the aggregate score is overwhelming: 16-7 in Barcelona's favor . Barcelona has never beaten Madrid four times in a single season except in 1982-1983, in the first season of the legendary Diego Armando Maradona . Eight different players have scored against Real Madrid this season, led by Rafinha (5 goals), followed by Lamine Jamal and Robert Lewandowski (3 goals each) . Last Sunday, when they trailed 2-0 in the 14th minute, they turned into a crushing performance, with the score at halftime 4-2. For the third time this season, Barcelona has scored four goals in a single half. Flick's team has collected 43 points from the last 45 possible, with three rounds of La Liga remaining . In their last 15 La Liga matches, they have stumbled only once, a 1-1 draw with Real Betis, which ended their best-ever winning streak . The three remaining opponents on the road to a historic title are Espanyol, Villarreal, and Athletic Bilbao . The team has so far scored 95 goals in La Liga and 167 in all competitions, and is already their fifth-best scoring season in history . He is just eight goals away from equalling the second treble season's record (175 goals in 2014-15), while the 2011-12 record (190 goals) remains relatively far behind.
