How Barcelona play two games at once this weekend

On Sunday Barcelona will play two games at once. Sort of. They face Espanyol at Camp Nou, and are obliged to win to keep their title charge going. Meanwhile Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid take on Levante and Valencia respectively. 

Then, in the other game, Granada face Sevilla at the Sanchez-Pizjuan. If Granada win and Rayo Vallecano lose, they are saved from relegation. Likewise, if they win and Getafe and Sporting draw, they are saved. 

There's no doubt that Barcelona's trip to Granada on the final day will be a lot more comfortable if Granada are already safe and aren't fighting for survival. If Barcelona beat Espanyol and Granada ensure their stay in the top flight this weekend, the league will be very, very close.
