An exciting final stretch in the league
After the international break comes a vibrant final stretch in LaLiga. Ten matches remain in two months of competition, with all to play for, for FC Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Real Madrid and Sevilla.
From the weekend of April 3-4 to the weekend of May 24-25 there are thirty points at stake. And, for the moment, before the resumption of the domestic tournament, this is the table:
- Atlético Madrid: 66 points
- FC Barcelona: 62 points
- Real Madrid: 60 points
- Sevilla: 55 points
For Barça, everything will start on Monday, April 5 (9.00pm CEST) at the Camp Nou. Ronald Koeman's men will host Valladolid knowing Atlético Madrid's result - they play Sevilla at the Sánchez-Pizjuán - and the outcome of Real Madrid's fixture against Eibar.
On Saturday April 10 (9.00pm CEST), the Catalans will travel to the Alfredo Di Stéfano stadium in Valdebebas to play El Clásico, an always attractive match against Los Blancos.
Revenge will be on the cards for the blaugranes after Zinedine Zidane's side triumphed at Camp Nou. Since then, Ronald Koeman has overseen an improvement and an evolution within his squad, with a focus on young players.
After the cup, two weeks with two games
After the adrenaline rush of the Clásico and the Copa del Rey final against Athletic, the Catalans will host an always combative Getafe in midweek, a team which includes former Barça players Aleñá and Cucurella. On the weekend of April 25 they will travel to the Estadio de la Cerámica to play Villarreal on matchday 32.
On Wednesday, April 28, Granada come to the Camp Nou before heading to Mestalla and a date with Valencia to open the month of May.
Thereafter, the next vibrant chapter in LaLiga is on matchday 35. A weekend that could see two fixtures that are decisive in terms of the destination of the league title: FC Barcelona v Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid v Sevilla.
Once the top four have met each other, there will only be three more games left. Levante and Celta will be Barça's rivals before the conclusion of the tournament in Eibar (May 22-23).
