Previous: FC Barcelona vs Athletic Madrid - Ties 2013/14 Day 38

FC Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid go back to measure his strengths to decide the title of League. The Camp Nou receives this Saturday (18 hours, Channel Ties and Goal Television) the last day of the championship, a duel to face or cross to decide the one who is the best. In the last five leagues, the Barça has won four. However, the Athletic so only needs a tie to be champion and in his two clashes in the Camp Nou this season (Supercopa and Champions) has empatado both.

The party, considered a true final, will put an end to one of the most equalised leagues of the last years, in which, in addition to the Barça and the Athletic, also the Real Madrid has had options until the penultimate day. The leadership in the classification has changed of hands several times along the season, although they are the Barcelona those that have kept it during more days. The Madrilenian, however, have retained it in the final stretch, nine days followed.

The team of the Tata Martino was leader the first twenty-one days, but went complicating the life with defeats was and also unexpected pricks home (Valencia and Getafe). However, when the Athletic had it everything to his favour, also failed. And when the Real Madrid seemed to be in the best disposal, did not concretise and the Barça, that had given the championship by stray until thrice, has found with the possibility to carry the title in the best of the stages, his own stadium.

Something so simple, in principle, like a victory home is what the Barça needs. This yes, in front of the hardest rival that could have and to the that still has not won this season in the five parties contested. This will be the main argument of the athletic. For the Barça, a tired team, especially emotionally after a terrible year with the death of Tito Vilanova like tristísimo colophon, the possibility to win the championship opens him the possibility to save the season.

Martino will have the practical whole of the staff. The three last occupants of the infirmary, Hammered, Jordi Alba and Neymar, have received the high, although the inactivity does not give them too many probabilities to play of start, especially in the case of the Brazilian. The central and the side have gone training of intermittent form during the week, but Neymar made his first session the Friday. I hammered it could play of start, Jordi Alba will be doubt until last hour regarding the eleven initial, whereas Neymar could act of revulsivo in the second part. The Argentinian technician, in which it can be his last party with the Barça, will draw a different party to the last that measured it in front of the Athletic, when it isolated to Messi in the band with the idea to look for more spaces by the centre, a tactics that did not give any result.

For the Athletic the one of morning will be the first of the two finals that has to face this month. With the final of the League of Champions to a week seen, has to his scope the two more important titles of the season, but faithful to the philosophy of the "party to party" of Diego Simeone, centres now in the first. It had it to touch in the last minutes of the previous day in front of the Málaga, but a spectacular stop of Willy Cavalier to Adrián frustrated the celebration in the Calderón. An alone point in the two split precedents have carried to the Athletic to the current situation. This yes, only has lost one of the last seventeen parties.

Simeone Also has of all the staff, with the recovery of Diego Coast. His maximum goleador in this course, goes down the past Sunday in front of the Málaga, goes back to the announcement and to the eleven initial like a key footballer for the Athletic and a nightmare for the rivals. It carries 36 goals in this campaign, 27 in the League. His mate in attack will be David Villa, to the detriment of Raúl García. The "Guaje", is the only that has won the Spanish League in his current team.

The one of this Saturday will be the third occasion in the history of the League that the title decides in the last party with the participation of the two candidates. In the two previous, the Seville carried the title after empatar in Them Corts (1945-46) and the Athletic, five years afterwards, carried the Championship after empatar in Seville.
