Barcelona can be declared champion in Spain tonight

Barcelona can be declared tonight even mathematically champion in La League for the 2022-23 season.

The Xavi-led team will play on the trip to the local rival Espanyol, starting at 9:00.

Barcelona has collected 82 points from 32 matches held so far, 11 more than Real Madrid, currently having a match.

Atletico Madrid, which is third on the 69-point board, plays today's 34th week match against Elches.

Thus, Barcelona, with a final victory over Espanyoli, would also mathematically secure the champion's first title since 2019.

Other results would postpone the Barca holiday, which still holds the best trophy for this season in La League.

Barcelona numbers 26 championship titles in Spain.
