It is do or die for Real Madrid in terms of their La Liga title hopes as they face Barcelona in the Camp Nou

It is the best rivalry in all of Europe as Spain’s biggest clubs in Real Madrid and FC Barcelona clash on Saturday. It could be the deciding factor in the La Liga race.

As of right now Real Madrid sit ten points back of Barcelona as Madrid are third and Barcelona are at the top of the league. They are one point behind rivals Atletico Madrid and Real need some good results in the next couple of games if they want to stay in the race.

Meanwhile, FC Barcelona are cruising along as they have kept their record unbeaten streak intact. Barcelona’s last fixture was a 2-2 draw against Villarreal which snapped a long winning streak but considering the form Barcelona are in, they can take a few games off.

But they can’t right now as they will face both Real and Atletico back to back in the coming days. After El Clasico, Barcelona will face Atletico in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. It will be a start of a big couple of months ahead as Barcelona look to capture the treble again.
