On April 23, Barca face their most formidable challenge from their remaining fixtures as they host Diego Simeone’s men. The reverse fixture ended 1-0 in favour of La Blaugrana, and the upcoming fixture could be equally tough.

At the end of April, Barcelona welcomes Betis to Camp Nou. Betis are one of the few teams that managed to breach the Catalans' defence, but they still lost 2-1 on that occasion.
Barcelona vs Osasuna
Barcelona kicks off the month of May with a visit from Osasuna. They won the reverse fixture away from home 2-1 and will be expected to win this fixture as well.

Barcelona vs Espanyol
On May 14, Barcelona travel to face their city rivals, Espanyol. The other Catalan club held La Blaugrana to a 1-1 draw in the previous fixture and could pose a challenge to Xavi’s side.
Barcelona could win the league title with a win against Espanyol, provided they picked up maximum points in the fixtures before the clash with their Catalan rivals. Even if Madrid win their remaining 10 games, it won't stop Xavi's men from claiming the title.
