The time has come for fans around the world to witness the most bitter rivalry in Spanish football. Real Madrid and Barcelona managed to keep each other in the battle to win the coveted title, and their upcoming matchup will certainly give fans something to talk about all week.
Los Blancos seem to have everything going the right way for them. First off, their three -point advantage over Los Blaugranas could be all they need to win the title. Furthermore, their game in hand against Celta could create a six-point gap against Luis Enrique's crew in the title race, meaning that a draw on Sunday could be all they need to win their first Liga in over five years, thumping Los Culés out of the race.
On the other hand, Luis Enrique's men desperately need the title due to a couple of reasons. A win here could shift the tie-break rules in La Liga their way, since the draw back in December would not be useful for Los Blancos if they end La Liga with the same amount of points. The other reason has to do with their recent UEFA Champions League elimination, especially because a league title would calm those who believe this season has been a complete failure for the defending champions
