Permutations in full: How Barcelona can clinch La Liga title in El Clasico
Barcelona come into tie atop the table with Real Madrid sitting second, and, depending on the result, could confirm their status as champions come the full-time whistle.
They may fancy their chances against this crisis-stricken Real, whose camp has been struck by behind-the-scenes turmoil.
But Real must put the off-pitch dramatics to one side as they look to deny their greatest rivals the chance to secure a 29th La Liga title.
La Liga permutations: How Barcelona can clinch title in El Clasico
Barcelona come into this Clasico atop the La Liga standings with 88 points, 11 clear of second-placed Real Madrid, with four matches left to play.
A win in this match, then, would take them 14 points clear with three matches left to play.
Thus, a win for Barcelona in El Clasico will confirm their status as La Liga champions.
A draw would leave Barcelona 11 points clear with three matches still to play, and would not be sufficient to confirm the title.
A win for Real Madrid, of course, would delay Barcelona’s title celebrations for at least another week.
