Real Madrid has postponed FC Barcelona’s early championship crowning with a hard-won victory, setting the stage for a major showdown in La Liga.
Madrid defeated Espanyol Barcelona 2-0 (1-0) on Sunday evening. The title decision could now fall in the Clasico, of all matches. Next Sunday (9:00 PM CET / DAZN), Barca will host Los Blancos, and even a draw would be enough for Hansi Flick’s team to secure their 29th league title.
Even if record champions Real (36 titles) prevent the championship celebration in their arch-rival’s stadium with a win, there will be no real suspense in the final stretch of the season. With four games remaining, Barcelona leads Madrid by eleven points, and a maximum of twelve points are still available.
Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior Single-Handedly Defeats Espanyol
On Sunday evening, Vinicius Junior’s brace (55th/66th minute) secured the win against Barcelona’s city rivals. Second place is almost assured for Los Blancos, with a nine-point lead over FC Villarreal.
