BARCELONA: Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres scored late in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Osasuna on Saturday that set up a chance for Hansi Flick's side to be crowned Spanish league champions this weekend.
Barcelona opened a 14-point gap over Real Madrid with four rounds left after this weekend. Madrid must win at Espanyol on Sunday to stop Barcelona from clinching a second straight La Liga crown.
A victory by Madrid would prolong the title fight another week, when Barcelona hosts Madrid in a "clasico" match.
Substitute Marcus Rashford picked out a run by Lewandowski and placed a cross for the striker to thump in with a powerful header in the 81st minute.
That sparked a flurry of goals in the final minutes. Torres added a second goal five minutes later, and Raúl García headed in one for Osasuna in the 89th.
Atletico Madrid rested most of its starters but got goals from two debutants as it won 2-0 at Valencia before it faces Arsenal for a place in the Champions League final.
Julián Álvarez, Alexander Sorloth and Giuliano Simeone, who all finished Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Arsenal with niggles, were among those players left off Atletico's squad for the Spanish league game.

Diego Simeone called up nine youth team players for the visit to Valencia, with Iker Luque and Miguel Cubo coming on in the second half and scoring in the 73rd and 82nd for the win at Mestalla Stadium.
Atletico defender Nahuel Molina almost scored one of the goals of the season when he let rip a powerful strike from near the midfield circle that smacked the corner of the goal frame in the first half.
Atletico remained in fourth place and on course for another Champions League berth next season. Valencia was 13th and still in danger of falling into a relegation battle.
The game at Valencia was Simeone's 1,000th as a coach, Atletico said, with 795 at the Spanish club where he has been in charge since 2011.
Ernesto Valverde also coached his 500th game for Athletic Bilbao when he oversaw a 4-2 win at Alaves, with Spain winger Nico Williams scoring twice.
Both are club records.
Simeone posted on X that he was “grateful to all the people who have accompanied and helped me reach this figure (players, colleagues, club executives, fans) since I started coaching in 2006.”
Athletic's players wore shirts with their mothers' last names on them to mark Mother's Day, which is held Sunday in Spain.
