Vinícius scores twice in 2-0 win at Espanyol
Barça can clinch title against Real Madrid next weekend
Vinícius Júnior struck twice for Real Madrid in a 2-0 win over Espanyol on Sunday to make La Liga leaders Barcelona wait to be crowned Spanish champions.
Barça would have completed their title defence if Madrid dropped points at Espanyol, but Álvaro Arbeloa’s side trimmed the gap to 11 points, with four matches remaining.
Barcelona’s next chance to claim their 29th league title comes in a week’s time, when they host Real Madrid in the clásico. Once again, only a Real win will stop Hansi Flick’s team from sealing the title.
