The calculator for the title of league champion comes into operation with four days to go before the end of the championship. The momentary seven-point advantage that Real Madrid had after its victory against Athletic in San Mamés opened a window for Zidane's team to mathematically proclaim themselves champions this Friday 10 (22:00, Movistar LaLiga) against Alavés in the Di Stéfano. However, the triumph of Barcelona in Villarreal postpones at least a few hours the possibility that Madrid proclaims itself champion in advance.
In the most favorable scenario for your interests, The whites could be champions mathematically this Saturday 11 at 9:30 p.m. For this, those of Zidane have to win Alavés on Friday and that Barça only get one point (a draw and a defeat) in their commitments against Espanyol (Wednesday 8, 22:00 at Camp Nou) and Valladolid (Saturday 11, 19:30 in Pucela).
The next possible date on the calendar is midnight from Monday 13 to Tuesday 14 at Nuevo Los Cármenes once Madrid has finished its match against Granada. For it, the whites have to win their next two games and that Barça does not win either Espanyol or Valladolid. A point in Nasrid territory would be enough for Madrid if Setien's men reaped two draws against parrots and pucelanos.
Real Madrid and Barcelona schedule
| Jor. | Real Madrid | Barcelona |
| 35th | Alavés (Friday 10) |
Espanyol (Wednesday 8) |
| 36th | Granada (Monday 13) | Valladolid (Saturday 11) |
| 37th | Villarreal | Osasuna |
| 38th | Leganes | Alaves |
In bold, home games.
The third date would already be Thursday the 16th, when the penultimate round of the League is scheduled to be played at a unified time. For that day, Madrid, which hosts Villarreal at Di Stéfano, depends on itself. If Madrid wins their next three games, they would be champion that day regardless of what Barcelona does.
