There is always something pending. Barcelona has everything to be the champion of La Liga Santander, and unless there is a real catastrophe, it will be. However, what seems impossible to achieve is the record of reaching 100 points, a figure that Barza reached under Tito Vilanova in the 2012-13 season.
The azulgranas are leaders with 76 points and there are eight matches left in the tournament, which means 24 units. The operation doesn't require major calculations: for Barza to be a 'centennial' champion, they need a full streak of victories until the end, eight out of eight. Although the culé team has shown great form, in the last nine matchdays they have had four draws (Espanyol, Getafe, Las Palmas, and Sevilla) that have put their unbeaten record and their ability to reach 100 points into question.
The panorama, in addition, is complicated, with rivals like Real Madrid, Valencia, or Villarreal.
