The Span La Liga League is still ongoing as every team is set for another round of the season, which is around thirteen.
Every team has played twelve matches so far, and we can see their standings already in shape, seeing the three most contenders of the league already at the top spot.
We can not argue about Real Madrid and Barcelona being the best teams since the start of this competition. Real Madrid has the trophy thirty-five times, while Barcelona has won it twenty-six times.
Also, Athletico Madrid has been one of the contenders to win the league following the two Champions mentioned earlier.
However, we can see some teams at the spots in their standings, and there are still many matches to be played before we can decide who wins the title for the 2022/2023 season.
Although Real Madrid was the team that won the title last season, and the team has been in its best form since the start of the season, proving to everyone that they can defend the title.
Barcelona was among the teams that strengthened their team during the transfer market, and they can also try their best this season to win the title.
Barcelona has dominated every team they have faced but has lost one match, while Real Madrid still has yet to lose a single match. However, as we enter the season’s thirteen rounds, let’s see how Barcelona and Almeria will line up, their La Liga standings, and our Barcelona vs Almeria best bets.
