Barcelona watching Espanyol-Real Madrid and hoping to celebrate title win
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) --- Barcelona is looking to city rival Espanyol for a
favor to celebrate another Spanish league title.
Espanyol hosted second-place Real Madrid later Sunday with the visitors needing
a win to prolong the title fight for another week at least. Anything less than
a Madrid victory would hand Barcelona the title with four rounds to spare.
Barcelona opened a 14-point lead over Madrid with a 2-1 win at Osasuna on
Saturday. It next hosts bitter rival Madrid in a La Liga "clsico" next
weekend, when it could clinch the title without relying on help from others.
Other games Rayo Vallecano prepared for its Conference League semifinal against Strasbourg with a 2-0 win at Getafe. Rayo coach Iigo Prez was able to rest many of his first-choice players with the Conference League semifinal second leg on Thursday in mind. Rayo won the first leg 1-0 at home. Sergio Camello and Randy Nteka scored in each half for the visitors, while Rayo goalkeeper Augusto Batalla also saved a penalty, to lift the team from the Madrid district of Vallecas to 11th ahead of the rest of the round. Celta Viga boosted its hopes of European qualification with a 3-1 win at home over Elche that left the promoted team among a host of clubs still in danger of relegation. Celta moved above Getafe into sixth. Also Sunday, Cucho Hernndez opened and concluded the scoring for fifth-place Real Betis in a 3-0 win at home over last-place Oviedo, a result that left the visitors on the verge of relegation. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
