Messi: "We can't let this chance slip"

Leo Messi is naturally delighted that FC Barcelona are back on course for the league title.

Win the remaining fixtures at Elche and at home to Atlético Madrid and the championship belongs to FCB.

TV deals mean huge windfall

The Premier League champions stand to rake in £95million from TV money this season while even the bottom club will earn £63million. The huge value of new £5.5billion Premier League broadcast deals will be highlighted by the fact that whoever finishes bottom of the table on Sunday should earn more from TV money than the £60.8million Manchester United were paid after winning the league last season.
