After enjoying almost two weeks off to rest, recover and train in sunny Catalonia, Barcelona play the biggest game of their season when they make the short trip to Cornellà to meet crosstown rivals Espanyol in a massive La Liga derby.
Barça come into this one with a very simple task: win, and they’ll mathematically clinch their first La Liga title in four years, against their local rivals in their stadium. There is a scenario where Barça would already kick off the match as champions if both Madrid teams fail to win their games before the Catalan Derby, but a victory by either Real or Atlético will put the pressure on Barça to the job themselves and get all three points to officially end the title race.
