Leaders Barcelona could effectively wrap up the title by beating arch-rivals Real Madrid at the Bernabeu next weekend, Pep Guardiola said on Saturday.
The champions came from behind to see off basement side Almeria 3-1 in a nervy display at the
Nou Camp where two goals from Lionel Messi helped them maintain their eight-point advantage over second-placed Real.
Earlier, Jose Mourinho's team eased to a 3-0 victory at Athletic Bilbao but with seven matches left to play starting with next Saturday's 'clasico', time is running out if they are to deny Barca a hat-trick of La Liga crowns.
"It is a unique opportunity to strike a decisive blow," Guardiola told a news conference.
La liga is already decided to me...
Vicotry at Bernabeau can't even decide the winner co the winner have already been decided.
Not far off the title now. Just a few dropped points from madrid and it'll be theirs for sure
The title's been already decide, we know who the winner is, can't change it.
