JAKARTA – Real Madrid is getting closer to winning the Spanish La Liga title this season. They can even confirm the title the following week.

Los Blancos are getting closer to the title trophy after a 3-1 victory over Osasuna in Week 33 of La Liga at El Sadar Stadium on Thursday, April 21, 2022. The three points earned make it almost impossible for Los Blancos to lose the league title.

The addition of three points makes Madrid more comfortable at the top of the standings with a collection of 78 points from 33 matches. They are still 18 points ahead of Barcelona, who mathematically still has a chance to win the league trophy because they have two games postponed.

However, with such a big gap in numbers, Madrid's chance to become a champion is much bigger. Carlo Ancelotti's men will automatically lock the title next week if they win over Espanyol and Barcelona lose one of their next two matches.

Barcelona will face Real Sociedad on Friday, April 22, and Rayo Vallecano on Monday, April 25. Meanwhile, Real Madrid will meet Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, April 30.

If the above scenario goes well, Los Blancos will certainly receive a Guard of Honor from their rivals Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on week 35 which will take place on 8 May.

In the current standings, Atletico actually collects far more points than Barcelona, which is 61 points. However, Los Rojiblancos have played the same 33 games as their city rivals.

Thus, despite being able to win the remaining five matches, the number of points collected by Diego Simeone's squad will not be able to match or even surpass Los Blancos' points collection.
