Matchday 30 of LaLiga left an almost definitive panorama in the fight for the title. Barcelona beat Atlético de Madrid 2-1 at the Metropolitano and extended its lead at the top of the table, while Real Madrid fell 2-1 in Mallorca, a combination of results that leaves the meringues seven points behind the leader with eight games left until the end of the season.
With 76 points after 30 games, Barcelona consolidates its leadership with a considerable difference over its pursuers. Real Madrid remains in second position with 69 units, but the distance with the Blaugranas makes a comeback practically impossible in the final stretch of the championship, especially considering that Barça also has a better goal difference.
Villarreal closes the podium in third position with 58 points and has a game pending this Monday, April 6, when visiting Girona. A positive result for the Yellow Submarine could further consolidate its position in the top three of the table.
