That question is being asked by sports betting fans and pundits alike.
Football games like the Easter spectacle in Sevilla certainly seem pivotal and Barcelona still retain hopes of an unbeaten La Liga campaign.
And now just one match away from equalling Real Sociedad’s 38 match unbeaten record – set from 1978-1980 – the betting odds suggest the Catalan giants can rewrite the history books.
Girona 1-1 Levante
Was this the moment Girona’s European dream suffered a damaging setback?
Morales’ 68th-minute leveller cancelled out Alex Granell’s opener 14 minutes earlier and the belligerent visitors held on for a vital point.
Victory would have moved Girona into a Europa League spot. They have a favourable run of fixtures between now and the end of the campaignso the massive underdogs still can’t be ruled out.
Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Celta Vigo
Brais Mendez was the Celta hero with a last-gasp equaliser to deny the Basque club an Easter victory.
Unai Nunez’s goal early in the second half was what the home side’s play meritedbut the introduction of Mendez helped push the hosts back and the Galicians earned a point and, although for an offside flag, they would have won it!
Las Palmas 0-3 Real Madrid
Any chance Madrid would take their eye off the ball against the relegation battlers – just a few days before their Champions League quarter-final with Juventus – were quickly quashed.
Welcome back, Gareth Bale!
The Welsh star’s double, one from the penalty spot, and a Karim Benzema spot-kick consolidated third spot for the reigning champions, even without the rested Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos.
Sevilla 2-2 Barcelona
Quite incredible! How Sevilla did not end Barcelona’s unbeaten league record at 2-0 up with two minutes remaining is a question that is unfathomably hard to answer.
They had enough chances to put Barca out of sight, even after Franco Vazquez and Luis Muriel goals., But enter the magician Messi.
Lionel Messi’s sublime 89th minute finish, seconds after Luis Suarez pulled one back, earned a fine point for the league leaders.
A true sign of champions in waiting.
Espanyol 0-0 Alaves
A poor game in the RCDE Stadium but the result really does not harm either side.
Alaves will see this as another point closer to safety.
There was frustration from some home fans at the final whistle but, realistically, they were never going to make a late push for a European berth.
Leganes 0-1 Valencia
It doesn’t always matter how you get the victory; just that you do achieve it.
Rodrigo Moreno’s 62nd minute strike ins this game was proof of that.
His sixth goal in the past five matches (in all competitions) has surely put Valencia on the brink of a return to next season’s Champions League.
Eibar 0-0 Real Sociedad
The spoils shared in the Gipuzkoan derby and a decent debut result for new Sociedad coach Imanol Alguacil.
In truth, the hosts should have won it but were unable to make their superiority count.
Outsiders may consider this as a typical approaching end-of-season affair between two clubs with little to play for.
Malaga 1-0 Villarreal
Lifeline?It’s still a big ask but this Easter result could be as crucial to Malaga’s great escape bid as it is damaging to Villarreal’s European qualification hopes.
The bottom club’s first success of 2018 arrived courtesy of a 37th-minute penalty from Gonzalo Chory Castro.
A first success for manager Jose Gonzalez and a deserved triumph against the lacklustre Yellow Submarine.
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Deportivo La Coruna
A Kevin Gameiro penalty was enough and that’s what counts for Atletico as they chase the runners-up spot.
Before next weekend’s Madrid derby, the last thing Los Colchoneros wanted was a slip-up to encourage Real, who are hot on their heels.
Diego Simeone’s injury-hit men did not give them that opportunity and, thanks to the fine form of Jan Oblak, kept an eighth successive clean sheet at home.
Deportivo were unfortunate to come away empty-handed from the Wanda Metropolitano but the reality is they remain eight points from safety and without a victory since Clarence Seedorf took charge.
They’re only losing games narrowly, however, and the Dutchman insists he has not given up on survival with 24 points still to play for.
Getafe 0-1 Real Betis
A late goal to bring Easter weekend to a close.
Sergio Leon’s left-foot finish two minutes from time won the match for Betis.
Francisco Portillo’s 64th minute penalty, saved by Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan, ultimately came back to haunt the hosts.
