You can no longer do anything to avoid it. Neither with the three points to Girona after a great victory, nor with a hypothetical third victory of Imanol In the Santiago Bernabéu on the last day of the season. The Real will end this league with the greatest disadvantage of points in history regarding its neighboring rival, Athletic.
That shocking data talks about the difference between the seasons of the rojiblancos and the Txuri Urdin, and especially of their ability to score in the league playing better or worse. The Bilbao are now rooms, already classified to the Champions League with 70 points, while the real one is eleventh, outside Europe, with 46 units. There are 24 points of difference that obviously hurt in Gipuzkoa and in Real itself. In the best case, winning Madrid on Saturday and that Athletic loses against Barça, the disadvantage would be reduced to 21. In the worst, it would increase to 27.
It is also the first time in the story in which the difference is such, in favor of Athletic, as indicated Pedrito Martín. Six times it had been 18 points. In days 24, 29 and 30 of season 55-56, in 28 and 29 of 59-60 and in 33 of this same course (with the obvious nuance that the victories were worth two points and now three, and that there were seasons that both teams did not compete in the same category). In fact, the great derby of day 34 of this course was reached in Anoeta with that difference, which the real could cut, but the goalless draw kept it, and then the rojiblancos chained three consecutive wins for only one, after two losses, of the Real, to reach the 24 points of disadvantage that are now.

The disadvantage of Athletic will be hard, but it is something that the real had already achieved. In fact, this century ended LaLiga three times with advantages of 20 points or more compared to its neighbors. He took 21 units at 02-03, season of the runner-up in which the distance became 22, also 21 in the year of the Champions of Montanier In 12-13, and 20 in the magical fourth place of Imanol In 22-23.
From the promotion to First in 2010, the Real has been ahead seven times. Six of them, in the last eight courses. This season the rojiblancos will unpack in their favor with the eighth season ahead from that ascent, adding the second consecutive, after the +8 of 23-24.
