Barcelona holds everything in their hands to close the season as La Liga champions. Under coach Hansi Flick, the team faces their city rivals Espanyol tonight at 21:30, with a clear mission: to secure a win.
Currently, Barcelona leads the table with 82 points, four points ahead of Real Madrid (78), who won their match against Mallorca last night, putting pressure on the Catalan leaders.
If Barcelona wins tonight’s derby, they will be mathematically crowned champions of La Liga.
Should they fail to win, the title race will remain open for the last two rounds of the season. Notably, Barcelona had already defeated Espanyol 3-0 in their first meeting this season.
