Vinicius' Double Keeps Madrid Alive As Barca Made To Wait For La Liga Title

By IANS News May 04, 2026 • 10:24 AM View: 438

Referee Jesus Gil Manzano: Vinicius Junior scored twice as Real Madrid won 2-0 away to Espanyol, delaying FC Barcelona's La Liga title celebrations.

Anything other than a Madrid win at the RCDE Stadium would have confirmed Barcelona as champion with four games remaining, but the title race now looks set to be decided in next weekend's Clasico.

Madrid remains 11 points behind Barcelona with 12 points still to play for, meaning a draw for Barcelona at Camp Nou next week would secure a second title in two seasons.
