Barcelona and PSG expected to wrap up La Liga and Ligue 1 titles despite varying weekend results

Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain are both priced as heavy favourites to claim domestic titles despite enduring varying results this weekend.
Barca moved 12-points clear at the top of La Liga following their 2-1 triumph in Sunday's El Clasico.
A stoppage time winner from Franck Kessie sealed the narrow victory over Real Madrid as Xavi's men celebrated what felt like a pivotal moment in the title race.
With just 12 La Liga games left on the calendar, Planet Sport Bet have priced Barcelona at 1/50 to win the title.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, have slipped to 16/1 as their league aspirations appear to have been shattered.
Should Carlo Ancelotti's side win all of their remaining La Liga fixtures, they would still have to rely on other clubs taking enough points off Barcelona.
Considering six of Barca's remaining 12 games are against clubs in the bottom half of the table, that remains unlikely.
PSG on course for title despite latest defeat
Ligue 1 leaders PSG suffered a rare 0-2 home defeat to Rennes this weekend as goals from Karl Toko Ekambi and Arnaud Kalimuendo silenced Parc des Princes.
This was PSG's second defeat in three games and their fifth in nine across all competitions.
Despite a stuttering start to 2023, Planet Sport Bet have priced the Parisians at 1/50 to win the league crown, with second placed Marseille presenting the closest challenge at 18/1.
With 10 matches remaining, PSG are seven point clear of Marseille and nine of third-placed Lens.
With no European football to keep them occupied, Christophe Galtier's side are expected to clinch the league title with little opposition.
The next three games will prove pivotal as the Parisians take on Lyon, Nice and Lens.
