Every time the blaugranes have reached 53 points or more after 20 games, they have gone on to win La Liga.
At the end of the season a total of 93 points from 28 wins, 9 draws and just one defeat was enough for another league championship. The blaugranes recorded 53 points in 20 matches, an identical record to Xavi's team although this season the team have conceded just seven goals where in 2008/09 at this point in the campaign they had let in 14. Nevertheless, it is not the first time that the blaugranes have been in this position, having 50 points or more after 20 games.
