Barcelona Can Clinch LaLiga This Weekend With Win at Osasuna and Madrid Dropping Points

The dressing room prefers an immediate clinch to remove pressure.

Overview

Barcelona, 11 points clear with five matches left, would secure the title with a win at Osasuna on Saturday if Real Madrid fail to win at Espanyol on Sunday.
Barcelona ride a nine-game league win streak, but Osasuna have lost only twice at El Sadar and are unbeaten in 10 straight home games.
Lamine Yamal is out for the season with a muscle injury, and Raphinha’s status is uncertain after returning to training this week.
Real Madrid visit Espanyol without Kylian Mbappé, Éder Militão and Arda Güler, and they have one win in their last six as Espanyol seek a first victory of 2026.
If Barcelona clinch before the next Clásico, reports say Real Madrid will not form a pasillo, the pregame guard of honor custom for newly crowned champions.
