The supporters of Barcelona know the alirón could come before the weekend hits the calendar. Is it possible? They believe it is within reach.
FC Barcelona, guided by coach Xavi Hernandez, is very close to securing the La Liga title for the 2022-23 season. The squad has delivered a remarkable campaign in Spain’s top flight and can clinch the championship on Matchday 34, with four fixtures remaining in the competition.
What result does Barcelona need against Espanyol to win La Liga 2022-2023
In truth, the current gap in points is substantial enough that Atletico Madrid, the second-placed team, and Real Madrid, in third, would struggle to catch up. The culés could become champions even without playing their Matchday 34 game against Espanyol.
Barca currently sits on 82 points. A victory in the Catalan derby would lift them to 85, a total that Atletico Madrid would find hard to match in the remaining five days (they sit around 69 points at the moment). If Los Colchoneros won all their remaining 15 points, they would finish on 84, while Real Madrid would end with 83 points if Madrid also took maximum points from their remaining matches.
Nonetheless, Barcelona could seal the title before kicking off in Cornellà. For that to happen, Atletico Madrid would need to falter on their trip to relegation-bound Elche, and Real Madrid would need a similar slip at the Bernabeu against Getafe.
Put simply, Barça head into the closing stages with a clear path: win against Espanyol and hope that neither Atletico Madrid nor Real Madrid collect enough points to stay in the hunt.
