ShareIt’s all about the title run-in now for Barcelona after their disappointing quarter-final exit in the Champions League to domestic rivals Atlético Madrid and there’s no room to slip up in their last home match before El Clásico.By Karl MatchettEven with a six-point lead with seven games to play, Hansi Flick’s side won’t be taking too much for granted when it comes to LaLiga. Four of those fixtures are away from home and besides, there’s a potential bigger issue at play.The deciderShould Barcelona win their next three and the chasing Real Madrid do likewise – or they otherwise match each other’s points totals in that span – then the Camp Nou meeting of the pair on 10 May will not only be one of the most watched games of the season, but a potential title decider. If Barca win that encounter, they claim the title, on home soil and against their greatest rivals. Slip up beforehand though and open the door to a Real comeback, and Los Blancos will be able to barge through and reignite a title charge.But Barca are 16 from 16 so far at home this term – keep that up here and it’s just a few more small steps and a third title in four seasons will be theirs!Overdue returnIt shouldn’t be expected to be a one-sided encounter, though, with Celta Vigo very much writing their own story this season.
