JAKARTA - Barcelona will soon seal the Spanish La Liga title after defeating hosts Getafe 2-0 in a match at the Coliseum Stadium, Saturday, April 25, 2026 WIB. If Barca is already the champion, then the El Clasico duel against Real Madrid on May 11, 2026 will lose its appeal.
Barca is getting closer to defending the league title after winning three points at home. The victory over Getafe makes Barca who has 85 points ahead of Real Madrid who failed to win after being held by Real Betis 1-1.
The results in the 33rd week make the competition in the Spanish League no longer tight. Especially if Barca is able to beat Osasuna in the upcoming week's match and Madrid fails to beat Espanyol. Barca has also sealed the league title.
If that scenario happens, then the El Clasico duel when Barca hosts Madrid will lose its appeal. The reason is that Barca has won the title so that the big match in the domestic competition is no longer wrapped in high tension.
But it will be interesting if Barca becomes the champion after defeating Osasuna, whether Madrid is willing to do a guard of honor, that is, the opposing team welcomes the champion team by forming a player fence. This is a tradition when a team has won a trophy.
On the other hand, El Clasico remains interesting and emotional if Barca fails to beat Osasuna and Madrid is able to get three points when facing Espanyol. At least Madrid can cut the points gap with the Blaugrana.
Coach Hansi Flick himself stated that Barca had not yet secured the title after winning an important victory over Getafe. According to him, the competition still has five more matches left.
"The competition is not over. We still have five more games to go. So, our focus is only on the next game," said Flick as quoted by france24.
"When the time comes, we will certainly celebrate it. But not now," he said again.
Meanwhile, midfielder Fermin Lopez, who opened Barca's victory, stated that the team's position was better in the title race. Only the team could not relax because the competition with Madrid remained tight.
"We know that we are very favored (in the league title race). However, we cannot relax. This is not a joke but the reality is like that," said Lopez.
In that match, Barca lost winger Laminel Yamal and Raphinha who were recovering from injuries. Even Yamal had to end the competition due to a hamstring injury.
Even without the two pillars, Barca was able to dominate. Only, they had to wait until the 45th minute when Lopez broke the deadlock. The score 1-0 lasted until the first half ended.
In the second half, Barca continued to play aggressively. However, Barca could only add a goal after Marcus Rashford broke into the Getafe goal in the 74th minute. The score became 2-0 and lasted until the end of the match.
