Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid has ended the 2024 top of the table when taking into account results by calendar year, beating off competition from rivals FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid to end the year with 90 points from a possible 114.
Los Blancos have lost only two of their 38 games this year, against Barcelona in October and Athletic Club in early December, with nine draws and 27 victories. With 90 points, they have recorded their best calendar year since 2021, when the side ended the year on 97 points having played an additional three league games.

Some of the biggest changes come from surprise package Girona, who have brought in 16 points fewer than in 2023, and Real Sociedad, who have dropped 19 points compared to last year. Both have struggled with the sale of key players and the demands of European competitions in the 2024/25 campaign.

They have also lost only 8 league games, their lowest number since 1956.

The longest unbeaten streak of all time.
