Barcelona are overwhelming favorites to win La Liga for the first time since 2019 after moving eight points clear of Real Madrid in the title race.

Xavi Hernandez's team are the leading scorers in La Liga this season, having netted 42 goals in 20 games.

Barca also boast the tightest defense, with just seven goals conceded.
