Even though Barca are strolling to the title, there is still plenty to play for in La Liga.
MADRID: Barcelona might have their eighth title in 11 years all-but sewn up but, with six games left to play, La Liga is far from finished.
Barcelona sit nine points clear of Atletico and will be confirmed as champions later this month if they beat Real Sociedad on Sunday morning, Alaves and then Levante at Nou Camp on April 27. For Real and Zinedine Zidane, making up the four-point gap would be scant consolation for a miserable season that cannot end soon enough.
Valencia are only three points back and will profit whatever the result at Coliseum Alfonso Perez, if they win on Monday morning away at Betis.That qualifying for the Europa League might end up as something of a disappointment for Getafe speaks volumes for their season but, as well as Valencia, in contention for the top six are also Athletic Bilbao, Alaves and Betis.
