    Vallodolid and Celta away are not as easy as they look tbh.

    If Barcelona win it, i just hope they don't use that as an excuse to paper over the cracks that are there. They still need a re build no matter what happens.

    I think they will. Barca need a wee clear out, Puyol going, id add Song, Tello and Sanchez.

    Then they need 4 players. If I was picking id go for David Luiz, Agger, Kroos and a wide/forward player depending on much money they've got ideally they'd get Reus but if they dont have enough money someone like Insigne. Then play like

    Keeper
    Alves Pique D.Luiz Alba
    Busquets
    Kroos Iniesta
    Neymar Messi Reus

    Maybe even sell Fabregas if they have too. The added pace and energy of Luiz, Kroos and Reus would be a big lift from playing Mascherano, Xavi/Fabregas and Iniesta in the wide role.

    They are 3 points ahead of Barcelona just now, so it's all to play for

    They only need to draw both games or they can lose but then beat Barcelona.

    It's baffling that Barca can still win the league. Feels like they've been gash this season.

    Think Atletico deserve it more.

    Aye, they've had a really poor season. Mad really that they could yet win it and are probably favourites the now.

    Atletico id say do deserve it, they have been great especially with a small squad. Barcelona have flattered to decieve, basically havent came out first gear this season and Real Madrid rely too much on individuals, they are a poor team to watch.

    Barca given an unlikely lifeline, I hope they take it.

    Or at the very least I hope Real are definitely out of the running after this weekend, Atletico has to beat Malaga for that to happen (or if they draw, then Barca winning at Elche would also put Real out of the running) I believe. Would be sickening if Real somehow sneaked back in on the final day.

    Crazy that Barcelona are now probably slight favourites to win the title. I would be pretty happy if they won it, would be a fitting tribute to Tito. Would be pretty similar to when we came from nowhere to win the title for tommy.

    Agreed.

    Hopefully they fix the problems they have for next season regardless of what happens.
