Western media: If Barcelona is sure to win the championship early, the Spanish Football Association hopes to award the award immediately after the national derby.
Catalan radio station "Tot Costa" reported that if Barcelona is determined to win the championship after the 34th or 35th round of the national derby, the Spanish Football Association will award Barcelona the championship trophy immediately after the national derby.

If the team defeats Osasuna on the road and Real Madrid loses to Espanyol on the road the next day, Barcelona will be able to lock in the league title in advance. In addition, Barcelona's second opportunity to win the championship is the national derby against Real Madrid at Camp Nou. If Barcelona is confirmed to win the championship after the 34th round away game against Osasuna, as revealed by Catalan Radio's "Tot Costa" column on Tuesday, or after the 35th round home game against Real Madrid, then the team will receive the La Liga championship trophy on the spot after the El Clasico.

NBA announces 3-2-1 lottery reform plan to set up relegation zone & bottom three will be punished
According to well-known reporter Shams, sources revealed that the NBA has officially announced a new anti-bad draft reform plan to the league's 30 general managers. This plan is called "3-2-1 Lottery". The plan includes expanding the lottery area to 16 teams, with the probability of flattening, and establishing a relegation zone. Starting from the 2027 draft, a "relegation zone" penalty mechanism will be established for the three teams with the worst records to reduce the number of lottery tickets for the No. 1 pick. Relevant sources said that the league office has held many important meetings with the board of directors, the competition committee, and 30 general managers in the past few weeks. The purpose is to streamline the scope standards before the team owners vote on May 28, and then shape this new single proposal. This proposal may have minor adjustments. However, according to the information leaked by these sources, the key points of the framework have been supported by most teams. "3-2- 1Lottery" proposal is named according to the number of lottery balls received by each team, expanding the lottery area from 14 teams to 16 teams, and teams that failed to enter the playoffs or play-offs and did not enter the relegation zone (ranked according to the bottom 4 to 10 records) Each team will get three lottery balls, and the teams ranked in the bottom three (relegation zone) will only have two lottery balls. However, their lowest draft pick is 12th, and the lowest pick of the other 13 lottery teams may drop to 16th.
