MADRID, May 20 -- Real Madrid travel to Malaga on Sunday knowing that a point will make them Liga Santander Champions for the 2016-17, giving the club its first league title in five years.
Wednesday's midweek win over Celta Vigo put Real Madrid three points clear of FC Barcelona going into the last weekend of the campaign, although Barca's superior head-to-head goal difference would be the deciding factor if the two sides end Sunday level on points.
As such a draw in the La Rosaleda Stadium is enough for Madrid to start the celebrations for the first time since 2017 and to tee up a Liga and Champions League double, ahead of the Champions League final on June 3rd.
Gareth Bale and Dani Carvajal are both out injured still, meaning that Isco will once again play a key role against the side which sold him to Madrid in 2913.
It has been pointed out in the Catalan press that part of the deal that took Isco to Madrid included several incentive clauses - one of which states Madrid would have to pay Malaga an extra million euros for the Spain international if he helped them win a league title, hinting at a conflict of interest nobody could have envisaged four years ago.
The fact that Malaga coach Michel Gonzalez is also a former Madrid player and has spoken of his affection for the club has also been highlighted in Barcelona, although with the eyes of the world on them and players such as former Barca striker Sandro Ramirez and former Atletico Madrid midfielder, Diego Camacho in their ranks, it would be a huge shock if Malaga gave anything less than 100 percent.
