    Not really. Barca are 3pts behind, with a superior goal difference and they play Atletico on the last day.

    Still interesting though what will happen. Do you think Barca will lay down to Atletico to let them win the League on the last day?

    Would be hilarious if Barca sent out their Reserves, lost but Real Madrid also slipped up which would mean that Barca could have won the League if they won.

    But will they want to beat them to help Real win the League?

    Barca I could only see losing to Atletico unless Real slip up again letting Barca be able to win it.

    Was hoping Valencia could hold on for the win there. Massive chance missed from Real tonight, Atletico have gotten away with one with both of Spains big 2 dropping points

    Well if there is a chance of winning the league Barca will play their strongest side.

    They only need a win and a draw, if they win their next game they then only need a draw against Barca as that will give them 92 points, Real can only get 92 points and Atletico beat and drew with them so win it on head to head.

    Obviously it depends on the next two games, but Barca are by no means out of it completely. Valladolid, Celta and Espanyol for Madrid. Elche and Atletico for Barca. Malaga and Barca for Atletico.

    But if it's down to Atletico or Real, will Barca put in 100%, you're right :smiley-laughing002:

    Yeah, I just saw that. Soccerway hadn't updated the points total from tonight's game when I looked at first. Doubt Barca will play to lose either way. Don't think professionals really care who wins the league if it isn't them.

    No, they would have if Real Madrid lost, now they need Real Madrid to slip up again.

    If Real Madrid win their next two games, imo Barcelona will lay down to Atletico knowing that if they stop them Real will probably win it.

    The best thing to happen for the title race will be if Real slip up in one of their next two games, that will then make Barca V Atletico a decider with Real out the picture.(Assuming Atletico atleast draw their next game and Barca win theirs)

    That's what i'm hoping for, 2 away games for Real next, not as easy as they look either imo. Interesting few weeks of LaLiga, been an excellent season
