MADRID: With the King's Cup in the bag, Barcelona look to complete the double this weekend, needing just a point at Real Mallorca on Sunday (Monday 1 am Beijing time on CSPN and Guangdong TV) to secure their 19th league title.
Barcelona destroyed Athletic Bilbao 4-1 to win the King's Cup on Wednesday and have the chance to make it two titles in five days with a draw at Mallorca and could even be crowned champions without playing should Real Madrid fail to defeat Villarreal on Saturday (Sunday 4am Beijing time) .
"If we become champions because Madrid slip-up, so much the better," said captain Carles Puyol. "If they don't, we'll go to Mallorca to win the game as we have done all season."
