With Madrid's defeat to Real Betis and Barça's draw against Eibar, the two sides were separated by the largest margin in LaLiga history
Real Madrid's latest defeat, this time at home against Real Betis, means they are further behind FC Barcelona - in terms of point totals - in LaLiga than ever before. Last season's 17-point gap matched that of the 1984/85 season, although this was when victories were worth only two points.
FC Barcelona drew with Eibar today and this means the point difference has been extended to 19. This is the most it's ever been in the history of LaLiga. This once again proves how dominant Barça have been under Ernesto Valverde in the league.
