Do you think Barcelona will let Atletico win on the final match day if they're out of the title race in order not to let Real Madrid win the league?

IMO they'll probably play with reserves or youngsters and say that they don't want to risk their best players in a non-competitive game

Can't really see Barca making a comeback in the title race, they have the toughest draw. Real Madrid has the easiest draw but Atletico can afford one mistake. If it wasn't for that referee robbery in that 2-2 Atletico - Real game, Atletico would already be a champion more or less

Atletico M.. might place emphasis on the league only.... since they are ahead and in control

Diego Costa will be fit to face Chelsea in the Champions League despite colliding with a post on Sunday night in Atletico Madrid's 2-0 win at Getafe.
One Atletico source even claimed that the woodwork came off worse than Costa after the striker crashed into it while scoring the side's second goal.
The hitman left El Coliseum Alfonso Perez smiling, despite initial fears that he may have sustained a serious injury.

That injury was bad, they should rest him and play him in the league.

The only emphasis Atlético have from now on is "final a final". Nothing more.

I still think Atletico will start dropping points soon. The Chelsea games will impact them.

They've got away games to Valencia, Levante and Barcelona. If they managed to win 2 of those games, then they honestly deserve the title :thumbsup:

If Real want to win the title they shouldn't be relying on Barcelona to help them win it anyway. That's not the way too win a title. Atletico will win the title and I think they will cap it off by reaching the final on the Champions League.

Real also plays against Valencia, although at home. Valencia will probably be more motivated against Real than Atletico, every other club in Spain hates the big two.

Then there's the cup final between Real and Barca, 1 more tough game for Real

Valencia is pretty much out of european competitions next year,they are 7 points off real sociedad and are pretty much playing for pride.

which will be the decisive factor in their game against real madrid n atletico.

The only hope for Real Madrid is that Atletico drop points in both the Valencia game and Levante game. If they drop points in one of them, then it gives Barcelona the chance to win the league if they win their remaining fixtures and Madrid drops points in 1 more game. I see Atletico dropping points in at least one of those games and the score on the final day will be 0-0 for the majority of the match until it's announced that Real Madrid have a comfortable lead against Espanyol and then Barcelona will tank it.

Seriously if Atletico come out with six points out of Valencia and Levante then they deserve this league wholeheartedly. Those are two of the toughest places to play in the league and it won't be easy. They will drop points in one of these two games me thinks.
