Together to win Liga and Champions League

Jaume Marcet


Barça go into the final stages with their sights on winning the two most important trophies of the season. They are eight points clear in the league and still have the Champions League semi final to come.


Together to win Liga and Champions League

The cup is over, but there is no time for sorrow. Barcelona still have two titles to fight for, and the Liga and Champions League are hardly minor compensation. There is plenty to look forward to in what remains of the season.

Main objectives

Osasuna next

The Barça players now have a day off and return on Thursday to start working on the league fixture on Saturday against Osasuna (20.00).

There are six games to go, and with an eight point lead, a win against Osasuna, who are 14th with 25 points and are just 5 clear of the relegation zone, three points would bring Barcelona incredibly close to mathematically securing the championship.

Two more clásicos

The semi final first leg is on Wednesday, April 27. After a trip to Anoeta to face Real Sociedad, the Camp Nou will be the venue the Tuesday after in a crunch game that will decide which of the two giants of La Liga will be going to the grand final, which this year is being held at Wembley on May 28.

But there are four league games to come before the hypothetical final. Two are at home (Espanyol and Deportivo) and the other two are on the road (Levante and Malaga).

What is sadly certain is that there will be no repeat of the treble of 2008-09, but the league and European Cup double, as in 1992 and 2006, is still on the cards.
