Can all six of Barça's teams sweep their leagues? / FCB
The basketball, futsal and women's football teams are looking to make history by adding league titles to those of the football, handball and roller hockey teams

FC Barcelona's professional teams are on the verge of doing something that has been done just once before: they are attempting to bring home the league title from all six sports, a feat which has only been achieved in the 1998/99 season.

With the football, handball and roller hockey teams having already won their leagues this season, the basketball, futsal and the women's football team would like to emulate their success.

Here's a look at how they did and how they are doing:

FOOTBALL

Playing at Granada in the last game of the season on 14 May, Barça won their 24th League title in Club history after a season record of 29 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats for 91 points.

HANDBALL

Unbeatable in the last three years in domestic competition, the handball team won their 23rd league title this season and their sixth in a row, a record. This season they clinched on 30 April, with five games still to be played. The team seek to keep a perfect record when they play their last game in Granollers on Saturday, 4 June.


ROLLER HOCKEY

FC Barcelona clinched their 27th OK League title on 7 May after drawing, 4–4, with Vic. The title will be presented to the fans this Friday at the Palau Blaugrana, before their match against Reus. The competition ends on 4 June in Lleida.


WOMEN'S FOOTBALL

The FCB Women's team is right there in the fight for their fifth consecutive league title. The team is currently in second place with 71 points — one less than Athletic Club — with three crucial games still to play. Barça are unbeaten thus far, with 22 wins and 5 draws.


BASKETBALL

Trying to win the league for the first time in the last two seasons, Barça Lassa finished first in the regular season and are now facing Fuenlabrada in a quarterfinal playoff series that is already underway. With home-court advantage, things are looking up for FCB.


FUTSAL

The FC Barcelona futsal team are hoping to win their first league championship since taking three straight in 2011, 2012 and 2013. After beating Catgas Santa Coloma in the quarter-finals of the playoffs, they are about to begin the semis versus Magna Gurpea, beginning on Saturday, 28 May at 6.00pm CET at the Palau Blaugrana.
