Supercomputer Predicts La Liga 2025/26 Standings After Real Madrid’s El Clásico Triumph
After Real Madrid’s thrilling 2–1 victory over Barcelona on October 26, 2025, a powerful football supercomputer has simulated the remainder of the La Liga season — revealing its forecast for the 12 teams expected to collect the most points. The results showcase Spain’s elite, from consistent mid-table challengers to the giants battling for supremacy. Here’s how the top of the table is projected to look based on the data.
12. Celta Vigo – 46.2 points
Celta Vigo are projected to finish 12th, maintaining a comfortable mid-table position. Their attacking play remains entertaining, but inconsistency continues to hold them back from European ambitions. The Galician club’s focus will likely be on stability and securing safety early in the season.
11. Sevilla – 46.9 points
Sevilla’s struggles from last season seem to persist, with the supercomputer expecting only a modest improvement. The Andalusian side still has quality in key positions but lacks the consistency needed to challenge for Europe. A mid-table finish would be seen as disappointing for a club with such pedigree.
10. Osasuna – 47.3 points
Osasuna continue to defy expectations with another strong predicted finish inside the top half. Their organized defense and hard-working midfield make them tough opponents for any team. Stability and team spirit remain their greatest strengths heading into the new season.

9. Getafe – 48.1 points
Getafe are tipped to enjoy one of their best campaigns in recent years, with nearly 50 points expected. Their disciplined, physical style underpins a steady rise up the standings. If they can add more goals to their solid defense, a top-eight finish isn’t out of reach.
8. Rayo Vallecano – 51.9 points
Rayo Vallecano’s impressive form continues, with the Madrid-based club set for another strong mid-table performance. Their energetic, high-pressing football has earned them many admirers. A top-eight finish would confirm their growing status as a respected La Liga outfit.
7. Espanyol – 53.1 points
Espanyol are one of the pleasant surprises of the season according to the forecast. A seventh-place finish would mark a major success for the Catalan club, putting them in contention for European qualification. Consistency and home form will be key to achieving this target.
6. Athletic Club – 53.8 points
Athletic Club’s identity and commitment to local talent continue to bring results. The Basque side are expected to secure another solid season, competing for a Europa League spot. Their intensity at San Mamés remains a defining weapon against stronger opponents.

4. Villarreal – 66.9 points
Villarreal are the supercomputer’s surprise package in the top four. Their balanced squad and smart tactical play make them serious contenders for Champions League qualification. The Yellow Submarine’s ability to perform against the big clubs could define their season.
3. Atlético Madrid – 70.2 points
Atlético Madrid remain a force under Diego Simeone, predicted to secure another top-three finish. Defensive organization and experience give them a consistent edge, though their title ambitions may fall short. A strong run in Europe and domestic solidity will once again define their year.
2. Barcelona – 80.4 points
Barcelona are still one of Spain’s elite, but their defeat to Real Madrid highlighted ongoing defensive vulnerabilities. The supercomputer sees them finishing comfortably in second, yet still short of title-winning form. Their young core continues to develop, promising a brighter future ahead.
