MADRID, May 5 -- FC Barcelona will have the chance to be crowned kings of the BBVA Primera Liga for the third consecutive season should results go their way this weekend.
Barcelona can round up a perfect week which saw the club qualify for the final of the Champions League, if they can take more points from their home match against local rivals Espanyol on Sunday than Real Madrid take on their visit to play high flying Sevilla on Saturday night.
Real Madrid travel to Sevilla after a dreadful week, which began with them losing at home to Zaragoza and continued with them failing to reach the final of the Champions League.
The club is trying to make the 1-1 draw in the Camp Nou on Wednesday appear as if it was a heroic effort, but the fact is that Jose Mourinho's side now has nothing to play for in the last four matches and talk in Spain is about how the club will rebuild for next season.
Mourinho will make changes on Saturday with Karim Benzema almost certainly coming into the side along with Pepe and Sergio Ramos, who were suspended in midweek.
It promises to be a difficult game against Sevilla, who are fifth in the table and who have improved drastically over the past three months. The main threat posed by the home side will come from powerful striker Alvaro Negredo, but Sevilla will be without injured duo of Ivan Rakitic and Martin Caceres.
Saturday sees a host of other matches. Valencia need to bounce back from two defeats in order to assure third place ahead of Villarreal. They host Real Sociedad in what will be an emotional night for Valencia coach Unai Emery, who spent most of his playing career with the Basque club.
