Barcelona fans may be on the verge of witnessing one of their dream scenarios: winning the Spanish league title in an El Clasico against historic rivals Real Madrid.

Hansi Flick’s side will have the chance to officially secure the La Liga crown on Sunday, May 10, at Camp Nou. After 34 rounds, Barcelona sit top of the table with 88 points, 11 ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, with four matches remaining until the end of the season.

This means that even a single point against Real Madrid would be enough for the Catalans to mathematically seal the title. However, given the team’s form and ambition, it is clear that Barcelona will not approach this clash merely looking for a draw.

The upcoming El Clasico is set to be far more than just another football match. For Barcelona, winning the title against Real Madrid would be the sweetest possible way to crown their season, while for Madrid fans it would represent one of the hardest scenarios to accept.

Securing the championship against their greatest rival is often seen as the ultimate “double blow”: lifting the trophy while also delivering a major psychological defeat to the opposition. That is exactly what Barcelona will be aiming for in a night that could live long in the memory of Catalan supporters.

However, the team is expected to face some important absences. Lamine Yamal is reportedly unavailable after a recent injury, while Kylian Mbappe’s form for Real Madrid is also under serious scrutiny.

El Clasico will be played on Sunday, starting at 21:00.
