Barcelona have La Liga title under control as Real Madrid drop points against Girona

As we enter the final few weeks of the 2022/23 La Liga campaign, Barcelona are inching closer and closer to lifting the title that has eluded them since 2019.

After a few missteps against Girona and Getafe, the Blaugrana returned to winning ways in the league, defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0. It helped them restore their 11-point advantage over bitter rivals and current title holders Real Madrid, with eight games left to be played.

And, now Barça’s grip on the title has seemingly gotten much firmer, partly in thanks to local rivals Girona, who secured a 4-2 win over Real Madrid at Estadi Montilivi earlier today.

Michel’s side, who had put up a spirited fight against Xavi’s men a couple of weeks ago, were on top of the reigning champions from the get-go and cruised to a hugely impressive win, courtesy of a four-goal display from Valentin Castellanos.

The result means that Barcelona could now stretch their lead at the top to 14 points if they manage to defeat Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night.

With only eight games left to be played for the Blaugrana, they must have to lose at least four for Real Madrid to have any hopes.

So, as things stand, it would be safe to say that Xavi & co. are on their way to bringing the La Liga crown back to Spotify Camp Nou for the first time since 2019.
