When can Real Madrid win the league in 2021-22?

Title chases across Europe are approaching what promises to be a thrilling climax, with the destination of domestic crowns yet to be determined from the Premier League to La Liga via the Bundesliga and Serie A.

Some heavyweight, and very familiar, clubs remain in the hunt to secure domestic dominance, with Real Madrid leading the way in Spain under the watchful eye of Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The Blancos are edging their way towards the finishing post, but when could they cross that line and confirm their coronation as champions for 2021-22? GOAL takes a look...

Ancelotti’s side still have eight games left to take in this season, with a 12-point lead currently held at the top of the table.

With the majority of teams only having 24 points left to play for, the Blancos will be hoping to surge over the title-winning line sooner rather than later.

Clasico rivals Barcelona are, however, their closest challengers at present and they still have nine games to come in the 2021-22 campaign.

That means, theoretically, they could still pull in 27 points before the curtain comes down on their season.

If two arch-rivals on opposing sides of a fierce divide were to remain faultless from here, then Real would – with there not a lot to choose between their respective goal differences at present – only clinch the Liga crown with two games left to play.

By then, if Barca had pulled to within nine points, it would be mathematically impossible for Madrid to be overhauled.

Taking that into account, a home date with Levante on May 11 could be the date on which Real confirm their standing as top dogs in Spain.
