LONDON — No matter what happens in the coming week in Spain, where a strike by the players over the distribution of television money could prematurely end the domestic season, Barcelona looks likely to be champion.

Barça leads Real Madrid by four points with two games remaining. If the strike goes ahead, Barcelona has won La Liga. If it is called off, the Catalan team needs one more win to wrap up the title.

But the bigger picture is that both clubs are still striving to reach the Champions League final in Berlin on June 6. Barcelona, up 3-0 after the first leg against Bayern Munich, plays in Germany on Tuesday, while Madrid, down 2-1 to Juventus, will have home-field advantage in the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday.

For once, the tale of the teams’ goalkeepers might be more intriguing than the race between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to be the top striker in Europe.
