The last round of La Liga saw the revival of the title race. Just as leaders Real Madrid looked set to run away with the crown early on in the season, they were handed an unexpected defeat which saw second and third in the table slash Los Blancos’ advantage.
Cristiano and Co., having seen their record-breaking undefeated run end away to Sevilla, now sit about that very same team by only a single point. Real Madrid’s lead over Barcelona is two points. Zidane boys, who have a game in hand, take on Malaga at home.
The three remaining teams from the top four won’t be in action until Sunday. Sevilla play first, taking on Osasuna in Sunday’s early kick off. Shortly afterwards, Atletico Madrid – fourth in the league – will lock horns with Athletic Bilbao.
Barcelona, fresh off a Copa del Rey win, play last on Sunday. The defending champions travel to Eibar, and can leapfrog Real Madrid should the table-toppers slip up.
