"Barcelona have won all 17 of their home league matches to date this season and are on the cusp of making history in El Clasico this weekend. The Catalan side only need to avoid defeat against Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou to clinch back-to-back titles under the German boss, denying their arch rivals for the second season running. Never before has a Barcelona title win been confirmed due to a result against Real Madrid, but that is expected to be the case come Sunday evening when the two sides meet."
"Barcelona are favourites for the match, largely given their imperious home form and 10-game winning streak in the league. Real Madrid, meanwhile, are in turmoil with Alvaro Arbeloa not expected to continue as interim boss beyond the end of the season, and Clasico preparations marred by a pair of physical altercations between Fede Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, which left the former requiring stitches, according to reports."
""They're going to win the title," Gibson said, ahead of taking up his position as Premier Sports co-commentator this weekend. "They've put together some 10 straight wins in LaLiga since they lost to Girona. "You thought then Real Madrid could catch them, but to go and win a streak of 10, [especially] the last two or three have been some really tricky fixtures."
""I found it hard to believe that the Barcelona haven't won it playing directly against Real Madrid. So, that brings a bit more pressure as well. "They don't need to win, but all the talk is about them ramming it down the throats of Real Madrid and winning, not just by one nil. It's got to be two, three, four, five nil. I don't predict that's going to happen.""
