Basically, a Real Madrid win today will put them virtually out of reach of Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team is already eight points ahead at the top of the table after overcoming Girona’s streak at the beginning of the season and today they will move to 11 points ahead if they beat Barcelona.
The Catalans who travel with Xavi need to win to keep the pressure on Madrid and anything less than three points will not do much to fight for the title.
