As the battle rages between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona at the top of the La Liga, the calendars of the two rivals will inevitably weigh heavily in the final sprint.
New splendid weekend for the Real Madrid. A week after resuming the leader’s chair thanks to its success on the lawn of the Real society (1-2) while the FC Barcelona had to settle for a draw at Sevilla FC (0-0), the Merengues have driven the point by taking it to the lair of theSpanish Barcelona (0-1) the day after the new draw conceded by the Blaugrana at the Celtic vigo (2-2).
This good operation by Zinedine Zidane’s troops allows them to be two steps ahead of their rivals at La Liga standings, and this, while the Madrid club also has the advantage in the event of a tie. These are therefore three points that Barça must catch up on their opponent during the final sprint. A final stretch of six days long which seems somewhat easier for Real Madrid than for FC Barcelona.
Atletico Madrid and Villarreal for Barça this week
From the 33e day planned this week, Barça will welcome a Atletico Madrid resurrected for ten days while Real Madrid will host Getafe, certainly still 6e with one game less, but who hasn’t won a single game since the recovery. Will follow, next weekend, a trip on the lawn of Villarreal for the Blaugrana, the Valenciane formation remaining on four successes and a draw during its last five outings, and a visit of the Merengue to Bilbao, the Basque formation showing on the contrary irregular.
A priori easy reception for the two rivals will followAlaves for Real Madrid and neighbors of Espanyol for FC Barcelona then respective trips to Grenade and Valladolid. During the 37e day, the task promises to be more complicated for Real, opposite against Villarreal, than for Barça, against Osasuna. On the last day, the task of two rivals promises to be of the same order with visits to Alaves for Barça and to Leganes for Real Madrid.
