Head to head is first.

The first tie break is head to head. If Real wins next month then I believe the next tie break is goal differential.

Can we get a moratorium on commentary filled with superlatives?
Messi's first strike wasn't a spectacular finish, and a wonderful burst of creativity, or anything like. It was the opponents losing concentration for a moment and Messi burying a very straightforward shot.
Not every goal scored is brilliant.

Not a fan of the Sergio Ramos rub-my-nipples celebration. Yuck. Did he learn that from Simon Cowell?

Is goal differential the tiebreaker if Real and Barca wind up even?
