La Liga for the biggest game of the season so far: a gigantic
El Clásico against Real Madrid at the
Estadio Alfredo Di Stéfano near the Spanish capital.
This could not be a bigger, more consquential game for both sides: the
La Liga title is up for grabs thanks to a huge decline by leaders Atlético Madrid, with just three points separating the three top teams in the league. Barça are in second and will go top of the table at least for a night if they win this one, while Real will go level on points with the leaders and surpass Barça if they win this one.

It s El Clasico weekend and once again Real Madrid s clash with Barcelona has a huge bearing on La Liga s title race.
Los Blancos enjoyed a fantastic midweek, as they dismantled Liverpool in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 3-1 win, and come into this game knowing a win could pull them level on points with table topping rivals Atletico.
Barcelona, on the other hand, have had a few days to put their feet up - owing to their Champions League exit at the hands of PSG in March - and they lay just a point behind Diego Simeone s side after a last gasp Ousmane Dembele goal saw off Real Valladolid.
