La Liga Scores & Fixtures - 2024/25 Results So Far
Here are a few of the most important results in La Liga so far:
Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid - This clash between two local rivals took place towards the beginning of the season and saw the points shared as Atletico scored in injury time to equalize before having a man sent off.
Real Madrid 0-4 Barcelona - One of the most shocking El Clasico results in recent memory as Barcelona ran rampant at the Bernabeu in October. The Catalan side scored four goals in the second half as they dominated their title rivals.
Real Sociedad 1-0 Barcelona - Just one game week after their triumphant win over Real Madrid, Barcelona were defeated thanks to a first-half goal from La Real. Despite having 70% possession, Barca failed to register a shot on target.
Rayo Vallecano 3-3 Real Madrid - Real Madrid’s defense looked especially shaky against Vallecano, going 2-0 down before pulling level before the halftime whistle. Although they briefly went ahead, Los Blancos failed to hang onto their lead and came away with just a point.
Barcelona 1-2 Atletico Madrid - Atletico ended the year with a hugely important game that could change the face of the title race. They won all three points at Camp Nou thanks to an injury-time winner.
Valencia 1-2 Real Madrid - Despite going behind and having Vinicius Junior sent off, Real Madrid rallied to show that you should never count them out. An equalizer by Modric came in the 85th minute before Bellingham made up for his missed penalty with an injury-time winner.

La Liga Picks & Predictions 2025 Season
La Liga is known for its exciting matches and teams that play fast, free-flowing soccer. The league is usually contested between the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but plenty of twists and surprises can happen over the course of a 38-game season. Aside from the title race, there’s also the battle for European football qualification, and the bottom teams fight to avoid dropping to the Segunda Division. Here are some of our top football predictions.
Who Will Win La Liga?
At the midpoint of the season, Real Madrid sit at the top of the table with 43 points, two points ahead of their city rivals Atletico and five points clear of Barcelona. Based on their current position, Real Madrid are favorites, with the odds showing them as most likely to retain their crown as La Liga winners this season. However, there’s still a lot to play for, and anything could happen in the second half of the season.
Real Madrid
Most people had Real Madrid as the favorites to win the league but they haven’t looked as dominant as their fans would have hoped. Kylian Mbappe has proved to be a challenge to fit into the team, while an injury crisis means the defense is currently lacking. January reinforcements may be needed if Los Blancos want to retain their title.
Barcelona
Barcelona looked much improved under the supervision of new head coach Hansi Flick while players like Raphinia and Yamal have shone as part of the best attack in La Liga. However, despite a 4-0 win over Real Madrid, Barcelona still trail their rivals. Injuries have also plagued their squad while financial issues have made it difficult to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
Atletico Madrid
Going into the winter break, Atletico are on an impressive 13-match win streak, including a last-gasp win over Barcelona and are only two points behind the league leaders. They currently have the best defense in the league, a factor that can easily make the difference when chasing the title. No one can count out Simeone’s side, who will fight to the end.
