Internet Desk: Luis Enrique’s Barcelona suffered a huge blow in their title hopes as they were handed a surprise 2-1 defeat by Deportivo La Coruna, which means Real Madrid can claim top spot if they win their next game with a game to spare.

The hosts took the lead after 40 minutes when Joselu bundled home at the back post following a fumbled save by Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen, only for the Catalans to restore parity just seconds into the second half when Luis Suarez volleyed home an instinctive finish.

But Deportivo La Coruna responded well to conceding the equaliser and regained their composure, striking what proved to be the winner when Alex Bergantinos climbed above Jordi Alba to head home from a corner kick.

The win against PSG the other night had lifted the Catalans on a different altitude, but this game against Deportivo has certainly provided a massive blow to their La Liga title hopes.
