La Liga 2017-2018: A Season in Numbers
Barcelona's Dominance
Barcelona won their 25th La Liga title in the 2017-2018 season, finishing 14 points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid. The Catalan giants also won the Copa del Rey, completing a domestic double.
Barcelona's dominance was built on a solid defense that conceded just 29 goals in 38 games. They also had the league's top scorer in Lionel Messi, who netted 34 goals.
Atletico Madrid's Challenge
Atletico Madrid finished second in La Liga, 14 points behind Barcelona. The Colchoneros had a strong season, but they were ultimately unable to match Barcelona's consistency.
Atletico Madrid's main strength was their attack, which was led by Antoine Griezmann. The French forward scored 29 goals in La Liga, and he was also named the UEFA Europa League Player of the Season.
Real Madrid's Disappointment
Real Madrid finished third in La Liga, 17 points behind Barcelona. The reigning Champions League winners had a disappointing season, as they were also eliminated from the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.
Real Madrid's struggles were due to a number of factors, including injuries and poor form. The team also failed to replace Cristiano Ronaldo, who left for Juventus in the summer of 2018.
Valencia's Surprise
Valencia finished fourth in La Liga, which was a surprise to many. The Bats had a strong season, and they were in contention for the title until the final few weeks of the campaign.
Valencia's success was due to their solid defense and their attacking prowess. The team also benefited from the return of Rodrigo Moreno, who scored 16 goals in La Liga.
