FC Barcelona are very close to securing the La Liga title. They could do so this very weekend if they defeat Osasuna on Saturday and Real Madrid fail to collect three points on Sunday when they face Espanyol.
If not, the celebrations will have to hold until next weekend, when the Blaugrana take on Real Madrid in the Clasico at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Parade planning in flow
With the title within reach, Barcelona are already planning the possible scenarios for organising the traditional victory parade, reports SPORT.
In the first scenario, if Barcelona are crowned champions this Sunday at around 23:00, the parade would take place on Tuesday, 5 May.
The team would present both the league title and the Spanish Super Cup to the supporters along a route starting and ending at Spotify Camp Nou.

The second plan would be activated if Barcelona do not win in Pamplona or if Real Madrid defeat Espanyol this weekend. In that case, everything would be decided in the following round in the Clasico on 10 May.
If Barcelona come out on top against their arch-rivals, the parade would take place on the subsequent Monday, 11 May and not on Tuesday.
This is because Barça have a league match scheduled for Wednesday, 13 May against Alaves at the Spotify Camp Nou.
Hansi Flick wants to prepare for the match with maximum focus, and Tuesday, the day before the match, is reserved for training as well as media duties at the Ciutat Esportiva.
This would be the second league title of the Flick era, to go along with the Spanish Super Cup won in Saudi Arabia against Real Madrid.
The season will therefore once again be considered a big positive under the German coach, despite elimination in the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League, where they were eliminated by Atletico de Madrid.
