Barcelona handed boost as La Liga title race takes another twist

It’s been a good weekend to be a Barcelona fan with Saturday’s Copa del Rey win being followed up with another twist in the title race on Sunday.

Leaders Atletico Madrid bounced back to life with a 5-0 win over Eibar, but Real Madrid dropped points after being held to a goalless draw against Getafe.

The results mean that Barcelona will be crowned champions if they win their last eight games, which includes a visit from Atletico Madrid next month.

Of course, that’s a lot easier said than done but it’s certainly another boost for Ronald Koeman’s side who can keep on dreaming about winning the double.
