Should Barcelona claim victory in La Liga on Saturday, they will not parade the trophy on the streets of the city amid security fears, as a Bruce Springsteen is scheduled concurrently at Camp Nou.
Luis Enrique's men are a match away from successfully defending their crown and will clinch the title as long as they win on Saturday afternoon at Granada, regardless of Real Madrid's result against Deportivo La Coruna.
However, the club have been advised against parading their prize along the streets of Barcelona should they win it after all, with safety concerns paramount.
The streets are expected to be packed with people making their way to and from Camp Nou, where American rock star Springsteen will perform a concert, while a title party would also coincide with the weekend of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Montmelo circuit.
Additional risks were anticipated given a victory lap would take place after dark as Luis Enrique's men play away to Granada at Los Carmenes and will only return late.
The additional threat has prompted the club to hold any title parade after their Copa del Rey final date against Sevilla, with the a possible double celebration on the cards.
Barcelona's squad have reportedly not reacted well to news that a La Liga title win will not be celebrated publicly, however, and are contemplating holding a private party at a venue yet to be confirmed.
