(Baonghean.vn) - In theory, Barca still has a chance to win La Liga, but the probability is no more than 1%. But in reality, there have been 2 times when Barca has slipped through the narrow door to take the throne from Real Madrid.

Will Barca be able to do it for the third time this time?

No. The answer is no. Simply put, the last round opponent Malaga has no goals to strive for, and has not won against Real in the last 8 confrontations (lost 6, drawn 2). So in theory, Real is holding the right to decide in their hands.

Finishing script

With a resounding 4-1 victory over Celta Vigo in the middle of the week, Real Madrid is one step closer to the La Liga championship. Currently, the gap between the "Royal team" and second-place rival Barca is 3 points, so they only need to draw with Malaga in the final round to officially be crowned kings after 5 years of waiting. Meanwhile, Barca only has a narrow window to win La Liga, which is to defeat Eibar at all costs and... wait for their arch-rivals to stumble. If the first leg is not too difficult, in addition to their current high form, they also play at home at Camp Nou. Rival Eibar just lost at home to Sporting, a team currently ranked 18th in the rankings. Currently ranked 8th, 33 points behind Barca, Eibar is no match for the home team at Camp Nou.

But the hope that Real will stumble is only less than 1%, no one believes that Zinedine Zidane and his team will stumble right at the "gates of heaven".

 La Liga mùa này, Ronaldo mới thi đấu 28 trận đấu tổng cộng 2.454 phút nhưng vẫn là cầu thủ quan trọng nhất của Real.
This season in La Liga, Ronaldo has only played 28 matches for a total of 2,454 minutes but is still Real's most important player.

Simply put, Malaga is currently ranked 11th on the rankings and has run out of goals to strive for. In statistics, Malaga has not won against Real Madrid in the last 8 confrontations with Real (lost 6, drawn 2), so in theory, Real is holding the right to decide in their hands. Moreover, CR7, the leader of Real, is also in extremely good form, he just scored a double against Celta Vigo in a resounding 4-1 victory. However, Zinedine Zidane and his team must concentrate highly, because they cannot correct their mistakes if a tragedy occurs.

Little hope

Fans of Camp Nou stadium searched through the past and found that Barca had two great "comebacks" against the Bernabeu team, who had fallen at the "gates of heaven" not just once but twice. Recalling the 1991/92 season, when Real was 1 point ahead of Barca until the last round and only had to face the weak opponent Tenerife (at that time, a win was counted as 2 points). As a result, the "Royal team" lost shockingly 3-2 despite leading by 2 goals, thereby giving the championship to Barca (beat Bilbao 2-0). The scenario repeated itself in the 1992/93 season, Real was still 1 point ahead of Barca, and was again defeated 2-0 by... Tenerife in the last round and watched their arch-rivals embrace the La Liga championship trophy after defeating Sociedad 1-0.

Barca fans believe that Real's former players, when they have no place to stay at Santiago Bernabeu and are wandering around as coaches of other clubs, will return to support their team to win the championship. Leading Tenerife for the two seasons mentioned above is head coach Jorge Valdano - a Real legend. And now head coach Malaga, the team that will face Real is Michel - who also played for the Bernabeu team from 1981-1996! If history repeats itself, it will be a strange story on the European football field this season and the most bitter defeat that Zidane has to accept.
