Reigning champions Real Madrid will face what is effectively a last-chance “Clásico” against arch-rivals Barcelona in Matchday 35 of La Liga, next Sunday afternoon.
The Royal Club has no option but to win if they want to keep their hopes alive of contending for a major title and salvaging a disappointing season.
Madrid has already crashed out of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 with home and away defeats to Arsenal, and also lost the Copa del Rey final to Barcelona, who had earlier beaten them in the Spanish Super Cup held in Saudi Arabia.
Despite lifting the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, those trophies are not enough to redeem the season for the Spanish capital side, which must retain their La Liga crown if they want to emerge from this campaign with success that somewhat mirrors last season.
Many believe that the advantage lies with Barcelona, who have delivered high-level performances both domestically and in Europe. Barça top the table, four points clear of Madrid with three matches remaining, meaning victory in this clash could be the key to reclaiming the La Liga throne.
Madrid are still suffering from a spate of injuries, particularly in defense, with David Alaba, Éder Militão, and Dani Carvajal sidelined. Most recently, German defender Antonio Rüdiger joined the list after undergoing knee cartilage surgery — putting the team at risk of another heavy defeat like the first-leg clash, when they were hammered 4-0 at home.
