As a result, Barcelona can officially clinch the title as early as Wednesday night. Technically, Real Madrid can still retain their La Liga crown. It is highly unlikely, but still possible as they need to pick up maximum points from their final games, giving them 84 and hope Barca lose at least twice.

Real Madrid have ensured that Barcelona will wait for at least another Game Week to be confirmed LaLiga champions, after they came from behind to beat Mallorca 2-1 on Wednesday night. It was Los Blancos’ first game since Carlo Ancelotti confirmed he would be leaving to take charge of the Brazil national team.

A severely-depleted Real Madrid completed a comeback against Mallorca to keep their La Liga title hopes alive, if only for one more night.
