Barcelona’s record that Real Madrid is chasing after winning the title
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are in a position to end the season with the biggest points difference to second place in history.
His season real madrid it was spectacular. They are champions with four games to go before the LaLiga final, thanks to victory with Cádiz and FC Barcelona’s serious slip-up with Girona. However, Los Merengues have one more motivation to keep their foot off the accelerator in the last remaining month of the domestic competition.
The new goal, after winning the 36th championship title, is none other than to breaks the record for the largest points difference between first and second ranked at the end of the season, held by the eternal rivals for the last 11 years.
Team coached by Pep Guardiola sa spaced at 15 points by the formation from the capital of Spain after 38 matches.
In the 2012/13 season, the Catalan team equaled the 100 points achieved by Los Blancos in the year previous in the “League of Records”. They also scored 115 goals and conceded 40.
There was a time when going below 90 points was practically synonymous with exiting the title race. Now, the difficulty has decreased, but Madrid could reach 99 if they win all their remaining games.

If we transfer the old standings, where wins were worth just two points, to the current format, we find that it is Real Madrid that would hold the record for the biggest points difference to the team in second place at the end of a championship.
The club from Chamartín won three championships with a difference of 12 points, when wins were of lesser value. The first two were achieved against Atlético de Madrid in 1960/61 and 1962/63. The third came with a win over Real Zaragoza in 1974/75.
