Barcelona one point from La Liga title ahead of El Clasico after Real Madrid beat Espanyol

“Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champions if they avoid defeat against Real Madrid in the upcoming El Clasico. Hansi Flick’s side require just one point to take an unassailable lead over second-place Madrid, who defeated Espanyol 2-0 on Sunday. Vinicius Junior scored twice in 11 minutes in the second half of the fixture to keep Barca from taking the title this weekend. Barca are 11 points clear of Alvaro Arbeloa’s side with four rounds of matches remaining, with the visitors needing to win at Camp Nou if they are to keep alive the mathematic possibility of catching their rivals. If Barca were to win, it would be the first time that a La Liga title was decided in a Clasico. …”
