After an incredible 4-3 comeback victory against Real Madrid in La Liga’s final Clásico on May 11, 2025, at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Barcelona is set to win the La Liga title for the 2024-2025 season.
Currently enjoying a 7-point lead and three matches remaining, Hansi Flick’s side cannot be caught, and at this stage, all they must do is ensure they maintain accuracy to seal the title.
The fastest way to the title could happen straight away.
Should Real Madrid not only lose to Athletic Bilbao in their next match, but also not have any other match postponed, they can’t catch Barcelona because the 7-point gap would become impossible with only two games left.
If Barcelona can simply win one of its last games against Mallorca, Real Betis, or Espanyol, they will become champions.
Establishing an attacking rhythm will be key to Barcelona’s success.
Raphinha’s two goals, Lamine Yamal’s incredible first goal, and Eric Garcia’s header during the Clásico show the firepower available when attacking well.
Keeping Frenkie de Jong & Pedri in midfield, ensuring their position becomes a cornerstone to both teams’ attacking and surprising others.
The way Robert Lewandowski gets lethal precision in front of the goal gives Barcelona’s attack more fire than it has had for almost a decade.
Defensively, Barcelona needs to tighten its ultra-risky offside trap, which was brutally exposed by Kylian Mbappé’s hat-trick. Pau Cubarsí and Gerard Martin must remain calm and avoid the early mistakes that cost Barcelona.
Ultimately, managing the fatigue of being out of the Champions League is also important.
Flick will rotate the squad using Dani Olmo and Marc Casado in various roles to sustain their freshness.
Barcelona’s confidence is sky-high; after winning all four Clásicos, and will be focused on bringing Barcelona their first La Liga title since 2022-2023, which will be a remarkable debut season for Flick.
