Barcelona were the defending champions, having won their 19th La Liga title in the previous season. The campaign began on 29 August 2009, and concluded on 16 May 2010; all top-flight European leagues ended earlier than the previous season due to the impending 2010 FIFA World Cup. A total of 20 teams contested the league, 17 of which already contested in the 2008–09 season, and three of which were promoted from the Segunda División. In addition, a new match ball – the Nike T90 Ascente – served as the official ball for all matches. On 16 May 2010, Barcelona secured a second consecutive La Liga title, and twentieth league title overall, following a 4–0 home victory against Valladolid. Barcelona's Lionel Messi won the La Liga award for Best Player for a second straight season. Real Madrid's 96 points made them the runners-up with the highest points total in the history of Europe's top five leagues, until this was surpassed by Liverpool's 97 points in the 2018–19 Premier League.https://bleacherreport.com/articles/708610-92-points-not-good-enough-for-real-madrid-to-win-la-liga 92 Points Not Good Enough for Real Madrid to Win La Liga Bleacher Report 19 July 2022

This ranking takes into account aspects such as cards, suspension of matches, audience behaviour and other penalties. This section not only aims to determine the best fair play, but also serves to break the tie in teams that are tied in all the other rules: points, head-to-head, goal difference and goals scored.
