What Barça need to do to win La Liga
Barcelona need at the very most six more points to win the league after drawing 2-2 with Celta on Tuesday.
Barca have 83 points, 12 more than Atletico Madrid, who can reduce the gap to nine when they play Real Sociedad on Thursday.
OPTIONS TO CLINCH THE TITLE
Barca, however, could win the league even earlier. The earliest possible date they could be singing the 'aliron' (victory song) is this Sunday, if Real Madrid lose to Athletic Bilbao and Atletico lose to Real Sociedad and then lose at home to Real Betis, the day after Barca's Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.
If Atletico manage to pick up points in either of those games, then Barca will have to wait until they play at Deportivo La Coruna on April 29 for their next 'match point'. They might even win the league without "getting off the bus", as Johan Cruyff famously said, if Atletico fail to beat Alaves earlier in the day.
If Atletico win all of their games and Barca beat Deportivo, then the Blaugrana can seal the title in the sweetest way possible, against eternal rivals Real Madrid at Camp Nou on May 7.
If they don't manage to beat Zinedine Zidane's side, Barca will still have three more chances to seal the league, at home to Villarreal, away to Levante and at home to Real Sociedad, although it seems much more likely they will have wrapped it up before then.
