Although the mathematics do not fail, the true is that it is little likely that the FC Barcelona top like new champion of LaLiga without contesting the derbi in front of the Espanyol in Cornellà. The Barcelona have the title ensured as long as they achieve a victory the Sunday 14 May independently of what occur in the commitments of the Real Madrid and Athletic of Madrid.
However, the culés had the alternative to go out champions the Saturday 13 May, although this possibility has seen frustrated because of the victory of the Athletic in front of the Cádiz (5-1) and his irruption to the second position of the table. Now, although they still can heave the title without stepping the lawn of the RCDE Stadium, seems almost impossible that all the factors fulfil in favour of the Catalans.
The mathematics of the Barça
And it is that no only the Real Madrid would have to 'puncture' the previous Saturday in front of the Getafe in Santiago Bernabéu, but it has to suceder the same with the Athletic in his visit to the already descended Elche in the previous hours to the derbi. A stage with some minimum probabilities that sucedan and that will leave to the Barça with the responsibility in his booties to seal a victory that give them the vigesimoséptimo title suspender belt in his vitrinas.
Further that both Madrilenian groups lose, an equality in the two commitments also would put to the Barcelona like domestic champion. The colchoneros would arrive to the 70 points to first hour of this afternoon and would remain to 12 of the Barça but with the 'goal average' lost owing to the falls in both direct clashes. By his part, the Madrid would have 69 and neither would arrive to the 82 that has at present the Barcelona. In spite of this, if any of the two wins in his respective commitments, the blaugrana will need a victory to do with LaLiga. A tie neither would serve in this case.
