As the season in the Spanish top flight comes to a close, here are some interesting stats that emerged after this weekend's games.

This weekend in La Liga left a few talking points for fans around the world to discuss. Among those, the battle to win the title between Real Madrid and Barcelona shows us different points of view. On one side, we have Barcelona fighting with their best players to win their matches, while on the other side, Real Madrid lines up their "B" squad to keep their stars fresh for the final three games of the competition and in their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Perhaps the best example is the Pichichi race. Used to play all games, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi used to go toe-to-toe in order to achieve the goal scoring title. This time, with CR7 playing less games due to Zidane's rotation policy, "La Pulga" is commanding the Pichichi race, with 15 more goales than those scored by the Portuguese ace.

Speaking of goals scored, the Argentinean holds the best goal average in La Liga, sending the ball into the back of the net once every 78 minutes. The striker with the second best rate is a Real Madrid player, who hasn't been able to secure a spot in Zidane's lineup. Have you guessed who is it?

One of the Zidane's biggest accomplishments with Real Madrid is to give his players the right amount of rest and playing time, and during this crucial weeks, the name of James Rodriguez has emerged as a valuable asset for Los Blancos. Why's that, you ask? Have a look!

Speaking about Barcelona's frontline, Luis Suárez is now tied as the 10th best striker in La Liga history for Los Blaugranas. With Saturday's goal, the Uruguayan equaled Hristo Stoichkov's tally with the Catalans, but he needed 80 games less than the Bulgarian legend to accomplish that feat.

But not all records have to do with Real Madrid and Barcelona, as these numbers will show you. As their season faded away into relegation, Andalucian side Granada gave Tony Adams the chance to coach their final games in La Liga waiting for a miracle. Needless to say, the former Arsenal legend has been a major flop with Los Nazaríes, according to the following stats.

La Liga's action will continue on Saturday, but before that day comes, here's a quick peak at how the Spanish top flight looks after 36 games.
