For Barça they have achieved 26 wins from 26 games with 128 goals scored and with just eight matches remaining these numbers could rise! The panel discuss what this league title means to Barcelona, and whether Chelsea have what it takes to stop them in the Champions League this weekend.

The five part series takes a look at some of the biggest talking points in the game including sexism, broadcasting, representation, professionalisation, and equal pay.
