Atletico Madrid remaining 9 points left from Barcelona and small chance for winning La Liga trophy in this season, but have 9 matches left depend with Barcelona and Real Madrid matches result keep consistent secure three points or not. Considering 9 matches left in La Liga, Atletico Madrid not face any top standings team except Real Betis at last games week if can secure all three points matches left actually still have chance if Barcelona and Madrid losses points.
Yes, that's why, Atletico Madrid who are 7 points behind, Real Madrid who are usually the favorites to win La Liga now seem very difficult to win La Liga because of their failure against Valencia which resulted in the points gap with Barcelona getting further away, which is now 4 points. So, for this season, the possibility of Barcelona becoming La Liga champions can be confirmed more than 60%, unless in the remaining matches, Barcelona experiences failure and error that continues for 3 matches. But it seems that will not happen.]
For now, Barcelona is indeed superior to Real Madrid but it has not been able to determine Barcelona as the champion because in the remaining 8 matches Barcelona still faces several clubs that I think are not easy for Barcelona to face, one of which is its arch rival, Real Madrid and maybe their meeting could determine the fate between the two, besides that there are still Villareal and Atlethic Bilbao who might make Barcelona lose points so Barcelona should not be too happy for now because their struggle is not over.
In the remaining 8 matches, of course Barcelona's journey is not easy, as is Real Madrid. because usually in the remaining matches there will be a lot of pressure and full of surprises. Just look at the results this week, Barcelona drew, Real Madrid lost and Atletico Madrid won. This could happen in the following weeks because usually in the remaining matches all teams have to fight to maintain their respective positions.
Barcelona and Real Madrid still have three different competitions, La Liga, UCL League and Copa del Rey. So the possibility of unexpected things will definitely happen, maybe right now Atletico Madrid is not favored but they still have a chance to win La Liga when the two top teams cannot be consistent in the remaining matches due to the tight match schedule. It is undeniable, Barcelona this season is indeed a strong candidate because it has more points but that could change, so in my opinion La Liga is still very dynamic anything can happen in the remaining 8 matches.
