Everyone knows that there is almost no suspense to win the La Liga championship this season, but do you think why hasn’t the Spanish Football Association handed over the championship trophy to Barcelona? This is a mathematical problem. In theory, Barcelona has not won the championship yet, and there is even a 0.0001% chance of being overtaken by Real Madrid. It is because of this 0.0001%, Barcelona cannot secure the championship ahead of schedule.

Guess why all the players are so impatient in Real Madrid's match against Mallorca? Will this game, regardless of winning or losing, have any impact on the ownership of this season's La Liga championship? Even if there is, it will have an impact of 0.0001%. But competitive sports are like this. Even if there are slight possibilities, we cannot give up. Moreover, for Real Madrid, it is only one day to delay Barcelona's victory. Even if Barcelona wins the championship one second earlier, it is a humiliation to Real Madrid. Moreover, it is even more unacceptable if Real Madrid wins the championship ahead of schedule for its own reasons.

So, this 2:1 final victory ignited the Bernabeu. Although Barcelona will still win the championship tomorrow if they defeat Espanyol; even if this 2:1 game will hardly change anything.

In fact, Real Madrid has been very successful in dragging Barcelona. Look at Bayern, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain won the championship several rounds ahead of schedule? Real Madrid is not as strong as Arsenal, are Leverkusen and others? If Real Madrid had won the gun early, Barcelona would have won the championship ahead of schedule. If there is any suspense in La Liga this season, it is to see how many rounds of Barcelona can win the championship in advance.

I think that Real Madrid's 2:1 victory over Mallorca has delayed Barcelona's pace of winning the championship, but on another level, it has made Barcelona a better possibility. Perhaps, Barcelona hopes that.

is like this. Barcelona's match was one day late in this round, and they played away against the city's arch rival Espanyol. If Barcelona wins this game, then they can ignore the result of Real Madrid's difficult defeat of Mallorca and win the championship directly.

But the question is, can Barcelona's championship celebration be played at home?

In the past, there were many similar examples in European football. The leading teams had obvious advantages and could even choose the nodes to win the championship. In this case, why not put the moment of winning the championship at home? First, please your fans, and second, it is convenient for celebration.

In the 37th round, Barcelona faced Villarreal at home. In the first leg, Barcelona won 5-1 away game, and when they returned to their home court, there was no reason for Barcelona to not be able to win. This game is Barcelona's best winning time.

Photo speculate that Barcelona may not be able to score 3 points at Espanyol's home court. On the one hand, although Espanyol has no desires, it is difficult for them to easily allow their mortal enemies to win the championship in their territory; on the other hand, Barcelona itself may not be able to output with all their strength. It’s better to stay tuned and deal with the next game.

You should know that against Villarreal is Barcelona's last home court this season. Currently, Barcelona has only one front, La Liga, so it is better to spend all their energy on this game and enjoy the championship moment with the fans.

From this perspective, Real Madrid's final defeat at Mallorca was ostensibly preventing Barcelona from winning the championship ahead of schedule. But is this really the real vision deep in Barcelona? Perhaps what they hope most is to lock the championship at home. Thanks to Real Madrid, Barcelona did not automatically win the championship in this round.

Of course, these are ideal visions. In fact, there are still risks. After all, there is still 0.0001%. It depends on what kind of results will be achieved when Barcelona plays away against Espanyol.
