We review what are the confrontations that have to play for whites and azulgranas before closing the 2019/2020 season in the Santander League.
The Real Madrid gave up the lead on the last day contested (27) before the stop due to the coronavirus. Those of Zinedine Zidane all three points were left at Benito Villamarín, so Barcelona went ahead with two points thanks to their victory against Real Sociedad. Now, the Madrid team will try to retake the lead in the next 11 days they have ahead, with six games at home – at Alfredo Di Stefano – and five as visitors, while Barca will have five games at Camp Nou and six away.
On paper, the most complicated duels that Real Madrid has ahead are the visits to Anoeta and San Mamés, on matchdays 30 and 34, respectively, in addition to the home game against Valencia on matchday 29.
