After an epic victory in the final El Clásico of the season to take a decisive step towards winning La Liga, Barcelona have a chance to mathematically clinch the title when they face city rivals Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.
Barça can actually win the league without even playing if Real Madrid fail to beat Mallorca at home on Wednesday, but if Los Blancos get all three points the Blaugrana will have to win the Derby to guarantee the championship with two games to spare.
This exact scenario took place two years ago, and Barça dominated Espanyol and got to celebrate the title on their rivals’ pitch for a couple of minutes before being chased off the field by some of the home fans, and they’ll be hoping to do so once again but without the ugly post-match scenes this time.
