Why This Game Is So Special

With a victory on Sunday, Barcelona will become the first team in 40 years — and the first ever in a 20-team La Liga season — to win every single home game in a campaign. Real Madrid were the last to do it in 1985–86, when the league had only 18 teams. Barca Blaugranes

There’s also a deeply personal farewell at stake. Robert Lewandowski could be playing his final game at Camp Nou as a Barcelona player, with the legendary striker’s contract due to expire at the end of the campaign. That alone guarantees an electric atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Real Betis arrive in equally good spirits, having secured fifth place and Champions League football for the first time since 2005–06 — a massive achievement for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.
