Despite the La Liga defeat, Real Madrid are more intact than Barcelona.

Barcelona won the Spanish league title with a comfortable points difference over their arch-rivals, but last night’s last-gasp defeat by Valencia handed Real Madrid a crucial place in the La Liga race.

The Royals ended their season with a thrilling 4-2 attacking win over Athletic Bilbao, while Barcelona suffered a surprising 3-1 defeat at Valencia, leaving Real Madrid with the strongest defense in the Spanish league.

Although Barcelona won the title with 94 points, they conceded 36 goals in 38 games to Real Madrid’s 35, so the Merengues held a one-goal lead in defence.

Real Madrid finished the season in second place with 86 points after winning 27, drawing 6 and losing 5, while their players scored 77 goals and conceded the fewest of any team in the tournament.

As for Barcelona, ​​despite being a formidable attacking force with 95 goals, a last-round loss to Valencia prevented them from finishing the season as the best defence.
