• No team has lost the title race after being 11 points clear with 10 matches remaining (If Atletico win on Sunday vs Celta then the difference will drop to 8 points).
If second-placed Atletico win every match between now and the end of the season they will finish the campaign with 94 points. Barça currently have 72 points. Given the Catalan side’s far superior goal difference, they need 22 points from their 10 remaining matches.
Barça will attempt to resolve the matter at Camp Nou. They have 6 matches on home soil (Athletic, Leganes, Valencia, Villarreal, Real Madrid, and Real Sociedad), and 4 on the road (Sevilla, Celta, Deportivo, and Levante).
Valverde chases Pep’s records
Ernesto Valverde’s side is unlikely to equal the points total achieved by Pep Guardiola’s team in 2010-11; at the same stage that year Barcelona had 77 points, five more than the current side. Valverde is also 3 matches away from equaling Guardiola’s best run of 31 matches unbeaten.
