It has been clear for weeks that FC Barcelona will in all likelihood become champions of Spain, after yesterday’s victory against Osasuna they are now very close to the title.

Barça’s championship is also almost assured because Real lost in San Sebastián afterwards. And sometimes with the help of your own husband.

Due to Real’s loss, Barca are just one win away from the league.

Disappointment ran high in north London after losing to Man City, but that seemed to turn into usable anger against Chelsea yesterday.

And besides: who knows if City will not drop points yet.
