Barcelona is on the verge of reclaiming the Spanish league title after Real Madrid stumbled on Saturday.
Carlo
Ancelotti's side could only draw 2-2 at home to Sevilla, coming back
from a two-goal deficit despite Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty miss, after
Barca opened up a five-point lead with a 2-0 win against Real Sociedad.
However, Catalan fans could yet face a nervous wait following the
Spanish football federation's decision to suspend the league from May
16 due to a dispute with the government over new legislation concerning
TV rights revenue.
Barcelona was
due to play third-placed defending champion Atletico Madrid next weekend
in the penultimate round of La Liga, and victory would secure the
domestic title for the 23rd time.
Coach
Luis Enrique turned 45 on Friday, and his team gave him the perfect
birthday present as Neymar headed home Lionel Messi's deflected cross
six minutes after halftime for the Brazil forward's 33rd goal this
season -- and 50th in 87 games since arriving from Santos.
