Barcelona on track for perfect home record with three matches to play Barcelona took another major step towards the La Liga title with a dominant 4-1 win over Espanyol , opening up a nine-point gap over Real Madrid in the title race. That nine-point gap over Real Madrid is no coincidence, as it has been built largely on what Barcelona have done on their own turf. While Madrid have been solid at the Santiago Bernabeu, they have still dropped points.

Barcelona, on the other hand, have been flawless. To put it in perspective, 16 home games. 16wins.

No slips, no excuses. Three different homes This has not been a typical season for Barcelona. Due to renovation work at Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona have had to adapt constantly, playing across multiple venues โ€“ from the Estadi Johan Cruyff (2) to Montjuic (3) and back to Camp Nou (11).

Despite the lack of stability earlier in the campaign, the results have remained unchanged. What stands out even more is how these wins have been achieved. Barcelona have not just edged past opponents, they have overwhelmed them.
