Barcelona can wrap up their 25th La Liga crown this weekend with a win away against Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor on Sunday.

The Catalan giants have destiny in their own hands and could even be crowned champions before a ball is even kicked, should Atletico Madrid fail to beat Alaves and Real Madrid not win at home to Leganes.

With five matches left (carrying a game in hand against Villarreal due to their Copa del Rey final last weekend), Barcelona hold a commanding 11-point lead at the top as well as superior goal average in head-to-head meetings with their two closest rivals

A title win, following domestic cup success, would mean Ernesto Valverde has done the double in his first season in charge.
