Real Madrid kept the pressure on Atletico Madrid by thrashing Granada 4-1 on Thursday to reduce the gap to two points at the top of La Liga, with two games left to play.
A draw or defeat for Real Madrid would have given Atletico the chance to win the title on Sunday by beating Osasuna but goals from Modric, Rodrygo, Alvaro Odriozola and Benzema secured a comfortable victory at Los Carmenes.
Atletico could still be crowned champions this weekend if they overcome Osasuna and Real fail to win away at Athletic Bilbao.
Even third-placed Barcelona are still in the running but they need an incredible swing of results if they are to overturn a four-point deficit.
