Is the La League title finished? Figures Do Not Lie

However, under these very special circumstances and with many matches yet to be played, is a return possible?

50 points of Atletico with just 19 games played is a fantastic performance, which is even better than that of Jose Morainho record season with Real Madrid.

Simeone has not returned only a record one -- Tito Vilanova's with Barcelona -- after Blaugrana had collected 55 points at this point of the season.

Interestingly, Diego Simeones' boys have reached the same number of points when they won the championship title in 2013/14.

It would take a large collapse of Atletico Madrid to hand over this ten-point advantage; or to have their two main rivals wake up from sleep and start winning all the remaining matches.

Is Return Possible?

If Real Madrid or Barcelona will be able to bridge the created gap remains to be seen, however, given statistics from past decades, the two Spanish giants will undoubtedly make Los Colchoneros difficult.

In the 2016/17 season, Barcelona was four points behind Real Madrid at the same point in the season, but reached 51 points out of the remaining 18 matches.

If Barcelona managed to do this again, there would be 91 points, which meant Atletico would have to perform well in the second half of the season.

In addition, Real Madrid has an average of 42 points from this point to the end of the season, which would also create pressure on their neighbours.

Endless Threats

Last season, Zinedine Zidanes' team won 12 points more than Atletico Madrid from 20 laps onward, despite Los Royblancos' performance after the break implemented by COVID-19.

The data shows that there are still many battles to take place in La League until the champion is crowned, and the fact that Barcelona has won eight of the championship's last 10 games and Real Madrid is capable of any achievement at any moment indicates that the emotions are not over.
