In Matchday 28 of La Liga, two giant clubs play crucial matches in the title race.
According to Idman.Biz, Barcelona managed to increase the point difference from Real in the last rounds, but during the season, Real was also able to eliminate this difference and rise to the leadership.
Fight for third place
After the first matches of the 28th round, Villarreal drew 1:1 in the away game with Alaves and rose to the third step with 55 points. Atletico is one point behind in fourth place with 54 points.
"Real Madrid" - "Elche" (March 14)
Real will host Elche in the home game and try not to increase the point difference with Barcelona. Alvaro Arbeloa's team is in second place with 63 points after 27 rounds, while Elche is in 17th place with 26 points and is fighting to get out of the relegation zone.
The situation is clear for the tour: a victory will reduce Real's difference with the leader and provide a temporary advantage.
It should be noted that Real defeated Manchester City 3:0 in the Champions League during the week and is now focusing on the La Liga match. In the previous round, Uruguayan national team midfielder Federico Valverde is in the spotlight in the Madrid team, which won 2:1 against Selta, and brings productive games to the team.
However, there is also a problem in Real's squad: defender Ferlan Mendi will miss the upcoming games due to a muscle injury, so changes are expected in the left flank defense.
"Barcelona" - "Sevilla" (March 15)
One of the main matches of the 28th round will be held at "Camp Nou". Hansi Flick's team will try to maintain the point difference with Real. Barcelona is the leader – with 67 points, while Sevilla is in 14th place with 31 points and is looking more at the lower ranks.
The team had a difficult season: they drew 1:1 with Newcastle in the Champions League during the week and only escaped with a penalty in the last minute. In home games, Flick's team continues its winning streak in all tournaments, which makes them favorites in the match against Sevilla.
Interesting figures: the main focus will be on Lamine Yamal. The young winger is one of the important figures in the team's attack and is supported by Robert Lewandowski and Rafinha.
