The Barcelona returns to depend on itself

Right now, there are only two teams that depend on themselves to win the La Liga title: Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona.. Those of Simeone also endorsed their leadership after winning (5-0) with authority against bottom-side Eibar, while those of Koeman have benefited from the draw of Real Madrid (0-0) this Sunday in Getafe. In fact, Zidane's men do not depend on themselves to win the title: winning the next seven games would in no way guarantee them the championship.

A totally different situation to that of the blaugrana, who did not play this weekend having played the Copa del Rey final, so they still have eight games ahead. And one of them is on the way to being decisive for the future of the championship, since five days from now, Atlético de Madrid visits the Camp Nou. If the blaugrana are able to overcome the rojiblancos very presumably they would put the direct towards the achievement of the double.

Thus, this weekend can be considered totally beneficial for the Blaugrana interests: ehe Saturday he was proclaimed champion of the Cup (0-4) against Athletic and on Sunday he once again depends on himself and without having played this day. The current situation of the classification, in principle, continues to be favorable for Atlético, which stands with 70 points, three points from Real Madrid and five from Barcelona. However, the Blaugrana, with one game less, could surpass the Atlético if they are able to win them on May 8.

It will be the calendar that ends up marking the fate of a championship that seemed to have the Simeone as clear favorites, after an almost perfect first round, but that Right now there are up to four teams with options, since Lopetegui's Sevilla also claims its place in history, being six points behind Atlético after their important victory (1-2) against Real Sociedad.
