Barcelona will be hoping to put the heartbreaking loss against Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League behind when they face arch-rivals Real Madrid in the latest ‘El Clasico’ showdown on Sunday. Madrid, whose coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to part ways with the club at the end of the ongoing season, too will be hoping to make amends after their Champions League was brought to an end with a 5-1 aggregate defeat against Arsenal in the quarter-finals.
Madrid are also 0-3 against Barcelona in the current season across competitions, with the latter having won their previous league fixture 4-0 before thrashing Los Blancos 5-2 in the Supercopa de Espana final. Barcelona also pulled off a thrilling 3-2 victory over their arch-rivals in the Copa del Rey final on 26 April.
The upcoming showdown between Barca and Madrid, however, is being viewed as a potential title decider. Barcelona currently occupy the top spot on the LaLiga table with 79 points and are closely followed by Madrid with 75.
A victory for Hansi Flick’s Barca will likely seal the title on Sunday with three games left. A defeat won’t mean a drop to the second spot right away, given Madrid will only be narrowing the deficit to a point. But the momentum will be in their favour heading into the final stretch of the season.
