Barcelona Can Clinch La Liga This Weekend With Win at Osasuna if Madrid Slip at Espanyol

Key absences test Hansi Flick's options in Pamplona.

Overview

  • Barcelona, which visit Osasuna on Saturday, will be crowned champions if they win and Real Madrid fail to take all three points at Espanyol on Sunday.
  • The leaders sit 11 points clear of Madrid, and previews note Lamine Yamal is out for the season, Raphinha remains sidelined or doubtful with a hamstring issue, and Jules Kounde is suspended.
  • Osasuna chase European places and pose a real threat at El Sadar after beating Sevilla, with strong home form and a reputation for disrupting opponents’ rhythm.
  • Real Madrid travel to Cornella short of key players, with Kylian Mbappe and Eder Militao among those out, as Alvaro Arbeloa’s side try to postpone Barcelona’s celebrations.
  • Espanyol have not won in 2026 and sit five points above the drop, and a rare victory on Sunday could both lift survival hopes and hand Barcelona the title, with local reports outlining a potential parade route if both Barcelona and Espanyol win.
