Ernesto Valverde's team are on the cusp of winning La Liga

Barcelona's 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo leaves the team six points from the title, which would be the 25th in their history.

La Liga will be Barcelona's against Real Madrid after the Camp Nou clasico on May 6 if they win against Deportivo La Coruna, April 29, then against Los Blancos, if Atletico win their games between now and then - Real Sociedad, Betis and Alaves. 

Six points of the 15 remaining are enough for Barcelona to take La Liga down. The question is WHEN. If Atletico lose their two matches then Barcelona would win the title by beating Depor.

Now the priority for Barca is winning the Copa del Rey against Sevilla on Saturday.

ONE RECORD YES, ONE RECORD NO

Barcelona, five games from the end of the season, are doing well and could finish the season without defeat.

On Tuesday they played their 40th game unbeaten (7 from last season, 33 from this) and became the first team to go 33 games unbeaten in a single season without losing a game - beating Real Sociedad (32) from 1979-80. 

The 2-2 draw against Celta means that Barcelona cannot get over 100 points though, Tito Vilanova's side became the first to do so in 2012-13, with 32 wins, four draws and two defeats. 115 goals for, 40 against.
