After 8 rounds, Barcelona are leading La Liga teams in the first place followed by Real Madrid. Interestingly in October, there will be a game between Barcelona and Real Madrid which is the best chance for every team to catch and advance.
What's a bit funny is that game will come after Barcelona's match against Bayern Munich in Champions League


Meetings between Barcelona and Bayern very rarely end in anything other than a terrible way for Barcelona. It will be interesting to see if Bayern can continue the tradition this year. But no matter how this game ends in the Clasico, the formal advantage will be on Barcelona's side, as Real only needs a win, while Barcelona will be happy even with a draw to maintain their 3-point advantage.
