Currently, 20 teams participate in La Liga, with each team playing against the others twice throughout the season. The team accumulating the most points is crowned the champion, while the top four teams secure qualification for the prestigious UEFA Champions League, and the fifth-ranked team earns a spot in the Europa League.

Real Madrid’s dominance in Spanish football is unparalleled, as they have never been relegated from the top division of La Liga. Their achievements extend beyond domestic success, with an impressive tally of 14 European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a record 8 FIFA Club World Championships.
Barcelona’s Stumble and Relegation Battle
While Real Madrid celebrated their triumph, their fierce rivals Barcelona suffered a setback in their title pursuit, losing 4-2 to Girona. This result effectively handed the championship to Los Blancos, leaving Barcelona to regroup for the next campaign.
At the opposite end of the table, the battle to avoid relegation to the Segunda División (the second division) intensifies, with the bottom three teams on the points table set to be demoted.
