Espanyol are in terrible form plus every year they are almost guaranteed 6 points for Real. 3 wins 0 draws vs Real since 2014. This has to be the worst record in La Liga vs Real They are not in danger of anything so might as well bet the house on a Real win
I wouldn't bet a doll house on Real Madrid to win atm. Espanyol got a big win agianst LPB in this fixture last season, which helped Barca alot. Anyway, its way more fun to clinch the title playing Madrid than having a dead rubber clasico with "B" teams out there.
Oh yeah, your math is right. It's worth noting that Espanyol have 5 points from their past 15 league matches, and they usually roll over for LPB.
We have the Most clean sheets AND Least Goals Conceded in La Liga , have no idea how that happened with our insane high line and offside tactics throughout the competition.
Also, Osasuna away isn't easy. Especially without half our first-choice starters. Barca were beaten badly in this fixture last season.
Magic number down to 2. A LPB draw or loss tomorrow hands the title to us ahead of El Clasico. A win means next weekend a draw is enough to clinch. (We'll play to win of course)
Personally i like how the ref added back in all the time wasted (by both teams). Pedri was down for a while too. Hope he is OK. Looked like the contact was below the knee so maybe just short-term pain.
Great cross though. No run up and barely any back swing. Rashford's loan really paid dividends in hindsight. He brings us something different, and now doing so from the right side.
Barcelona is the first team in history to win 29 out of the first 34 matches in a single La Liga season.
Yeah I just noticed that they could still get 100 points, which would tie a record. It doesn't feel like such a dominant season.
Barcelona have NEVER officially won La Liga in a Clásico against Real Madrid. A WIN or DRAW today would make it the first time EVER this happens.
