Barça are the L a Liga Winter Champions. The honorary title fell into their lap with the 1-1 draw Madrid recorded in Almeria earlier this evening after a 19.00 kick-off. Madrid are now a point behind Barça, with Guardiola’s team looking to make that 4 with a win over Malaga.

Third time on the run

This is the third season on the run that Barça have claimed the title and in both the 2008/09 and 09/10 seasons the mid-campaign success led to them taking the title at the end of the season.

Barça have now been Winter Champions 21 times, with 10 of those being converted to a league title.
