Barcelona require just a point from tonight's El Clasico at Camp Nou to seal a La Liga title that has looked theirs for months. Hansi Flick's men lead the table by 11 points with four games remaining. A win tonight would put the Blaugrana on course to challenge the all-time La Liga points record of 100, and hand Flick back-to-back titles in his first two seasons in charge.
The Blaugrana arrive in exceptional form, having won all 17 home league games this season and gone unbeaten in their last 10 La Liga fixtures. Without Lamine Yamal, sidelined since a hamstring injury earlier in the season, Flick has still managed to deliver one of the most dominant domestic campaigns in the club's history.
Real Madrid travel to Camp Nou in extraordinary disarray. Federico Valverde was hospitalised after a training ground confrontation with Aurelien Tchouameni, with both players fined 500,000 euros each by the club following an investigation. Antonio Rudiger was separately disciplined for slapping teammate Alvaro Carreras during another heated exchange. Kylian Mbappe is reported as a doubt through injury, while a global petition calling for his departure from the Bernabeu has gathered over 33 million signatures. Interim manager Alvaro Arbeloa has publicly denied there is a crisis. Few are convinced. Kick-off at Camp Nou is at 19:00 GMT.
