Malaga’s ex-Barcelona forward Sandro Ramirez hopes to spring a final-day surprise against Real Madrid and help his former club retain their status as La Liga champions.

Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Celta Vigo on Wednesday means they go into Sunday’s final round of fixtures three points ahead of Barca, who must beat Eibar and hope their rivals lose at La Rosaleda.

An ongoing hot streak of seven in his last eight La Liga appearances includes a strike against Barca, when Malaga saw off Luis Enrique’s men 2-0 last month, and Sandro hopes for a further say in the title race.

“Hopefully I can score and hand the title to Barcelona,” he told La Liga World.

“Hopefully it’s a dream day. I owe them [Barca] everything.”

Sandro joined Barcelona as a teenager and progressed through their academy to make 32 first-team appearances before being allowed to leave on a free transfer last year.
