The upcoming weekend of action in La Liga could have a major effect on how things develop for all teams involved in the title race.
It will be an interesting weekend for the most popular teams in Spain. For starters, Real Madrid will try to bounce from their UCL loss against PSG when they face Alavés, one of the teams involved in the quarrel to avoid relegation. Later in the weekend, Barcelona will want to see an improvement over their one-all draw in the Europa League, but their trip to Valencia may not be an easy hurdle to overcome.
With that in mind, let's have a closer look at the intimate details that will make this weekend in La Liga one to keep an eye on.
La Liga standings heading into Matchday 25
Real Madrid top the table with 54 points, but a loss this weekend could see their lead reduced to one point by Sevilla in case Los Hispalenses claim three points in their match. Real Betis are third, way behind their inner city neighbors, but as with Real Madrid's case, a loss for Los Verdiblancos would see their lead over Barcelona reduced to one point. On the other hand, Los Blaugranas will also have to equal or improve their result from this week to keep Atlético in fifth despite both teams are level at 39 points.
