What if league table

Home to some of the most famous clubs, players, managers and stadiums in world football, the Premier League is the most-watched league on the planet with one billion homes watching the action in countries.

The league takes place between August and May and involves the teams playing each other home and away across the season, a total of matches. Three points are awarded for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat, with the team with the most points at the end of the season winning the Premier League title. That means Real would win the tiebreaker, and as a result, win the league. The top four go to the Champions League, while fifth and sixth play Europa League and seventh heads to the Conference League.

Real Madrid's win over Atletico Madrid back in December gives them the tiebreak edge should both teams finish the season level on points.

Huesca hold the head-to-head tiebreak over Elche and Real Valladolid. Huesca and Eibar drew in their two league meetings. In Italy, a frantic final weekend could see some big changes with three teams fighting for two Champions League spots. Here's how they break ties in Italy:. The relegation battle is still ongoing as well. AC Milan hold the tiebreak over Napoli and Juventus based on goal differential in their meetings.

Torino host Benevento on the final day. It used to be that if teams were unable to be separated by those three considerations, they would both be awarded the same position — and in theory, crowning co-champions. And as the still ongoing COVID pandemic reminded us, sometimes even the most unlikely scenarios have to be accounted for. Evidently, the Premier League have realized this as well, and have introduced head-to-head tie-breaker rules in Rule C.

If teams cannot be separated on points or goals, we look at the results between just the two of them, weighting away goals as a last resort.

And if teams still cannot be separated then, we would have to have a special one-off play-off game at a neutral venue! That sounds a bit unfair, but if the season got interrupted right now, that would still be the process used.
