Barcelona only need 10 points to secure the title LaLiga Madrid derby result aided the Catalans

Ernesto Valverde has overseen a near perfect debut campaign at the Camp Nou, and his Barcelona side now need just 10 points to secure the title.

The 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid left the Blaugrana's lead at 11 points, and with seven matches left there are a maximum of 21 points left on the table this season.

In the event Los Colchoneros add all 21, they will end the season on 89 points, with Barcelona currently sitting on 79 points.

Valverde's team also have an advantage over Atleti should the teams somehow finish level on points.

Whilst not impossible, it's unlikely that Atletico will be able to catch their title rivals, so the focus turns to just when Barcelona will be able to secure their domestic triumph.

There is a very significant chance that it could be confirmed before the Clasico on Matchday 36.
