Here's why the LaLiga race is probably over if Barcelona beat Real Madrid in El Clasico

Hansi Flick’s side have nine wins from nine domestic matches, putting Jose Mourinho in a must-win spot to keep the title race alive, if history is anything to go by

Is the LaLiga race over with a Barcelona victory in El Clásico on Sunday? As we're reaching the end of October, it may feel like a premature question, but when looking around the league, it could be close, at least when it comes to Real Madrid having a chance. Barcelona are currently six points ahead of their rivals in the table, having gone a perfect nine wins from nine matches in domestic play while putting together an impressive +30 goal difference. In the past 20 seasons, only twice has one of the duo won LaLiga after trailing by more than six points while playing the same number of games as in the 2006-07 season.

Real Madrid were able to overcome an eight-point deficit, and in the 2024-25 season, Barcelona overcame a 10-point deficit. Given the strength of Hansi Flick's attack, even if Real Madrid have been performing well in their own right, this is a must-win game for Jose Mourinho's men.
