With a thrilling comeback victory over Real Madrid on Sunday at Camp Nou, Barcelona possibly won a league title for the first time under Xavi.
Barcelona probably only needed one point here. Instead, they got three. Sergi Roberto grabbed the first goal, and Franck Kessie slotted home a late winner to see off Real Madrid and establish a 12-point lead atop La Liga.
Real Madrid went ahead much against the run of play, with Vinicius Jr's speculative cross deflecting into the net off Ronald Araujo's head.
Barcelona grabbed an equaliser on the stroke of half-time, with Sergi Roberto capitalizing on a series of deflections before curling the ball home from ten yards out.
The start of the second half was fiercely contested, with both sides pushing forward in search of the lead. Robert Lewandowski would come close to making it 2-1 for Barca around the hour mark, when he turned and fired a great strike from 25-yards out - a strike which flew just wide via a deflection
And they found a late winner, with Alejandro Balde feeding Kessie at the far post for an easy finish in second-half stoppage time.
