Real Madrid has taken the lead in the La Liga standings with 22 points, thanks to their superior goal difference. The Spanish giants have been in excellent form this season, winning all but one of their matches so far. Their only loss came against Atletico Madrid, which was a disappointing result for them.

Barcelona, on the other hand, is not doing as well as Real Madrid. They currently sit second in the league table with 18 points, but they have been struggling to find the back of the net. Barcelona's goal difference is also lower than that of Real Madrid, and they have lost more games than the Los Blancos.

Despite their struggles, Barcelona still have a chance to catch up with Real Madrid if they can turn things around quickly. However, it will be tough for them to make up ground when they face such strong opposition like Real Madrid.

Overall, Real Madrid looks set to win the La Liga title this season, and they will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the standings. Barcelona, on the other hand, will need to improve if they want to compete with Real Madrid for the championship.
