Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid have been battling for supremacy in Spanish soccer since the start of the season, with all three sides leading the standings at different points of the campaign. Now, with just eight games to go, the balance is starting to lean more and more towards Hansi Flick's side.

Barcelona were able to respond to Real Madrid dropping points with a draw against Real Betis, but despite it putting Hansi Flick's men four points clear atop the league, it feels like an opportunity missed.

Vinícius Júnior missed a penalty and Real Madrid conceded an injury-time goal in a stunning 2-1 home loss to Valencia that shook its La Liga title defence on Saturday.
