Real Madrid will be hoping that a win over Villarreal on Saturday evening is enough to see them finish ahead of Atletico Madrid at the top of La Liga.
Los Blancos are currently second in the table, two points behind leaders Atletico, while Villarreal sit seventh, one point behind fifth-placed Real Sociedad, meaning that both sides have plenty to play for in Madrid.
Real Madrid have kept to their end of the bargain in terms of the title race, with last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao ensuring that they are very much in the argument heading into the final set of fixtures.
It is relatively simple for Los Blancos – they must win to stand any chance of retaining the title. Indeed, a victory, coupled with either an Atletico draw or a defeat against Real Valladolid, would see them lift the trophy.
Villarreal will face Manchester United in the Europa League final next Wednesday, but the Yellow Submarine cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in the league, as fifth position is still very much open.
