La Liga Update

I don’t exactly follow any domestic league, I do, however, check in once in a while Serie A (Italy), La Liga (Spain) and the Bundesliga (Germany).  I just want to know who the top clubs are to give me an idea who would most likely be in the next season’s Champions League. 

I’ve already given this month’s update on Serie A, here’s the latest for La Liga (or more formally known as Primera División of the Liga de Fútbol Profesional, quite a mouthful, ain’t it?):

Rank	Team	MP	W	D	L	GF	GA	+/-	Pts
1	FC Barcelona	26	23	2	1	77	13	64	71
2	Real Madrid	26	20	4	2	62	19	43	64
3	Valencia CF	26	15	6	5	40	27	13	51
4	Villarreal CF	26	15	5	6	45	26	19	50
5	RCD Espanyol	26	13	1	12	35	38	-3	40
6	Athletic Bilbao	26	12	2	12	40	38	2	38
7	Sevilla FC	26	11	5	10	41	40	1	38
8	Atlético Madrid	26	10	5	11	36	34	2	35
9	Real Sociedad	26	11	2	13	37	42	-5	35
10	RCD Mallorca	26	10	4	12	27	35	-8	34
11	Getafe CF	26	9	6	11	36	39	-3	33
12	Racing Santander	26	7	9	10	24	36	-12	30
13	Levante UD	26	8	4	14	27	38	-11	28
14	Deportivo La Coruña	26	6	10	10	21	35	-14	28
15	Real Zaragoza	26	6	9	11	24	38	-14	27
16	Osasuna	26	6	8	12	26	32	-6	26
17	Hércules CF	26	7	5	14	24	39	-15	26
18	Sporting Gijón	26	5	10	11	23	34	-11	25
19	Málaga CF	26	6	5	15	34	58	-24	23
20	UD Almería	26	4	10	12	26	44	-18	22

Barca tops the league with a 7-point difference from Real Madrid, yey!  But they can still catch up as I think Real has, like, 12 matches to go.

I found a very informative article on La Liga, from the same site that gave info about the Serie A.
