Barca Can Virtually Clinch Liga Title In Decisive Clasico
Xavi Hernandez and his Barcelona side can take a decisive step towards winning La Liga on Sunday -- where a Clasico victory over Real Madrid would send them 12 points clear of the champions. The Catalans have not won the Spanish title since Ernesto Valverde was at the helm in 2019 and expanding the gap on their bitter rivals in second would virtually clinch it. Madrid won the first La Liga Clasico 3-1 in October but Xavi's side have vastly improved since then. The coach is desperate to win the league title to validate the team's growth, while for the club it would represent a swift return on their outlay last summer.
