Real Betis 0-2 Barcelona: 5 talking points

Next up: The Catalan derby

A win over Espanyol should wrap up the title for Luis Enrique’s side

With two games remaining, Luis Enrique’s men are scheduled to face Espanyol next. Espanyol are currently 15th in the league and will go into the derby looking to upset Barcelona’s momentum as they themselves are hovering two points above the drop zone.

The two sides have met thrice this season already, with the Blaugrana having won twice and drawn once. Controversy has engulfed their meetings this season with Barcelona’s centre-back Gerard Pique getting involved in a tussle with the Espanyol fans.

Also, Barcelona face 16th placed Granada on the last matchday. None of Barcelona’s remaining fixtures look challenging, and with a win over Espanyol, the title should be virtually sealed. A slip up at this stage from any of the top 3 sides can lead to an interesting twist in this bitter race to Spanish glory.
