Barca in the hands of Atletico and Real Madrid

The breakdown of who needs what to win La Liga this season

Barca have three games to go in La Liga and whether they win or not is not up to them. They drew with Atletico on Saturday, taking them second. 

Ronald Koeman’s side must win their games (Levante, Celta, Eibar) and hope Atletico and Madrid both slip up.

Atletico are top, but it’s also not up to them as they have a worse head to head than Real, who, if they win four from four, are champions again.

Simeone’s side face Real Sociedad, Osasuna and then Real Valladolid.

Madrid have four games left, Sevilla, Granada, Athletic and then Villarreal, arguably the hardest run in.

Atletico are top on 77 points, Barcelona on 75 and Madrid on 74. Sevilla technically can still win it but it seems very unlikely now. They are on 70.
