With El Clásico still fresh on our minds, Real Madrid and Barcelona keep their struggle to win La Liga's top honor in Matchday 34.
Sunday's win against Los Blancos leaves Barcelona as the leader, even if the have the same amount of points as Zidane's men. Now, Luis Enrique's men have all the tie breakers to their favor (better goal differential and the season's tally against Los Blancos), but Real Madrid's game in hand against Celta could be the difference to name a new champion by the end of the season.
During mid-week's action, Barcelona will be the first of these teams to take the pitch. Los Culés will host Osasuna, a team that will most likely play in the Spanish Segunda División next season. Losing against this team would be a massive disappointment for Barcelona, since their opponents haven't won a match at Camp Nou since May 2009.

Later that day, Real Madrid will visit Riazor Stadium to play against Deportivo la Coruña, a team that managed to draw against Atlético and beat Barcelona in front of their supporters. Zizou's men won't have Bale (injured) and Ramos (ban) around, which will force the depleted Merengue side to be cautious against this opponent.
