Which club finished as runners-up in the 2019-20 La Liga season?

Barcelona finished as runners-up in the 2019–20 La Liga season. Real Madrid won the title, while Barcelona ended the campaign in second place with 82 points.

The season was unusual because the COVID-19 pandemic caused a three-month suspension of the competition. Play resumed in June 2020, and Real Madrid secured the championship with one match remaining. Barcelona had led the table earlier in the season but lost ground after the restart, including a costly draw against Celta Vigo and defeat by Osasuna.

Barcelona’s final record was 25 wins, seven draws and six defeats, with 86 goals scored and 38 conceded. Real Madrid finished on 87 points, making the title race notably close despite Madrid’s eventual lead.

This result was significant because Barcelona had been the defending champion after winning the 2018–19 title. Atlético Madrid finished third and Sevilla fourth, while Real Sociedad and Villarreal completed the next two European qualification places.
