Barca has title in sight after strike lifted

Barcelona can round off a fine week by clinching its 23rd La Liga title and exacting revenge on Atletico Madrid for losing out in last season's title decider at the Vicente Calderon on Sunday.

A proposed players' strike had threatened the La Liga calendar this weekend but that threat was lifted on Thursday when Spain's National Court concluded a strike would "cause a serious organizational disorder" to the end of the league season.

Atletico won the league with a 1-1 draw the Camp Nou on May 17 last year and Barca can return the favor exactly a year later as long as it matches Real Madrid's result at Espanyol.
