Barcelona is closing in on another Spanish League title after a win over Real Sociedad.
Clement Lenglet and Jordi Alba scored a goal in each half at Camp Nou Stadium as Barcelona kept a nine-point lead over Atletico Madrid, which had beaten Eibar earlier in the day. The Catalan club can secure its eighth league title in 11 seasons as early as next weekend.
Lenglet opened the scoring with a header off a corner just before halftime and Alba netted the winner with a low shot from inside the area in the 64th, just a few minutes after Juanmi equalized from close range for the visitors.Atletico Madrid had moved within six points of the lead with a 1-0 win at Eibar, when Thomas Lemar scored in the 85th minute.
Diego Simeone’s team is looking to finish runner-up for the second straight season. Before winning the league in 2014, Atletico hadn’t finished better than second since 1990-91. Atletico struggled to take control of the match at Ipurua Stadium, unable to create many significant scoring chances until Jorge "Koke" Resurreccion broke free and sent a perfect cross for Lemar’s close-range shot by the far post.
