After Barca\u2019s historical win at Camp Nou, the fixtures are getting ready for Week 36. Most teams are saved except for the few at the bottom. Real Oviedo is officially relegated after drawing a game with Getafe. The remaining teams have the slightest hope of a safe zone. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, the relegation drama is intense between Alaves and Levante, as they are separated by a single point. Alaves might get a chance to move up the points, but Levante\u2019s hopes are not solid. The following La Liga Week 36 will feature 10 exciting matchups that will decide the fate of the relegation-risk teams.

They have won the La Liga title and defeated Real Madrid with a clean sheet. This is a great gift for all Barcelona fans, as they got the title by beating their all-time rivals. Los Blancos are nowhere near the title race now, making Madridistas upset for the second consecutive season. Barcelona fans even go further, mocking the Whites and saying, \u201cAt this point, we need new rivals.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barcelona-s-29-th-title\">Barcelona\u2019s 29<sup>th<\/sup> Title<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second El Cl\u00e1sico of the 2025-26 season was much more dramatic than it was at Bernabeu. Hansi Flick\u2019s men have been upset lately about the UCL loss, but have rebounded to win the La Liga championship. They made Real Madrid trophyless for the second time at Camp Nou. It was a 2-0 win for the hosts, where Arbeloa&#8217;s men failed to score at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcus Rashford scored the free kick in the 9<sup>th<\/sup> minute, prompting the Whites to chase throughout. Shortly after that, Ferran Torres came up with another goal, making it 2-0. Torres\u2019s goal stunned the Whites, especially Bellingham, who was flabbergasted. Vinicius tried to cope with the \u201c15 UCL\u201d gesture, but ended up being mocked by fans. This is a hard blow to Real Madrid, going trophyless for the second time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-atletico-madrid-s-loss\">Atl\u00e9tico Madrid\u2019s Loss<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Atl\u00e9tico Madrid had one of the most unpredictable seasons this year. They went up to the UCL Semi-Final and lost to Arsenal. Despite giving top performances, they remain inconsistent. Recently, they lost to Celta Vigo in a goalless affair. Even though playing at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Atleti never found the net. Borja Iglesias scored in the 62<sup>nd<\/sup> minute for Celta Vigo, which earned them the 1-0 win against the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spanish-la-liga-week-36-schedule\">Spanish La Liga Week 36 Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-celta-vigo-vs-levante\">1.

Levante has won three games, lost one, and drawn one in their last five games. But in the bigger picture, Levante\u2019s defense and offense are significantly better than Levante\u2019s.

Barcelona, on the other hand, has just won the El Cl\u00e1sico and the La Liga title. Their 2-0 win over Real Madrid proves their readiness to face Alav\u00e9s. So, Barcelona is the favorite to win in this La Liga fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Barcelona.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-real-madrid-vs-real-oviedo\">4.

It was a terrible loss for Real Madrid. But technically, they have a solid system with good playmaking. When it comes to attacks, Real Madrid has elite playmakers and finishers. In contrast, Real Ovideo comes as a relegated team. They have reached rock bottom this season and are beyond repair. They have the worst defense in the league, allowing 54 goals in 25 games. This will create more scoring chances for Arbeloa\u2019s men. Hence, Real Madrid will win in this La Liga fixture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Real Madrid.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish La Liga has reached its pinnacle as Barcelona wins the title and gets ready for the upcoming season.
