MADRID (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid will be crowned La Liga champions this weekend if they beat mid-table Osasuna and local rivals Real Madrid drop points at Granada on Thursday or Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

Diego Simeone's side, who suffered a mid-season blip having had a 10-point cushion over their rivals in February, have managed to stay top throughout largely thanks to chasers Real and Barcelona failing to capitalise on their slip-ups.

"If last week I was nervous, imagine what it's like a week later," Simeone said."I'm like anyone who lives and breathes passion for this sport. I'd rather not watch and find out what the scenario is after the game and how it played out. The Argentine will be without midfielder Thomas Lemar but otherwise has a fully fit squad to choose from.

Coach Zinedine Zidane will be without five first team players in Sergio Ramos, Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Lucas Vazquez and Ferland Mendy for the trip to the Basque Country.
