Barcelona, Madrid win as title race goes to final round

May 17 14:01 2017

“This forces Real Madrid to win theirs from here on in and it now depends on what they do”. As things stand, the race for LaLiga is finely poised.

Real Madrid will miss Gareth Bale, Dani Carvajal and the suspended Nacho for La Liga tie against Celta Vigo.

The Cucuta-born attacker applauded all four sides of the stadium as he left the pitch in what would be his final home game should he transfer after three seasons in the Spanish capital.

Kick-off time: 21:00 PM CET.

Jorge Sampaoli’s chances of landing his dream job at Barcelona may have come and gone, but he could still hand Barca the La Liga title on a plate should Sevilla shock Real Madrid on Sunday.

Zidane had been rotating the squad the last few months as Madrid also played the decisive stages of the Champions League. Zinedine Zidane, however, still included Nacho in his 20-man squad on Wednesday morning hoping to have him available after Real Madrid had previously chose to take the case to the Appeals Committee. Ronaldo scored 84 Premier League goals for Manchester United before signing with Real Madrid and adding 282 league goals and counting to that total.

“I’m not thinking about anything else, very positive, focusing 100 per cent on what’s ahead of us. In every game we are playing for the league”.

“He’ll be with us tomorrow”, Zidane confirmed.

InAndreu Fontas, Sergi Gomez and Carles Planas, Celta have three players who all began their careers at Barcelona and will surely be giving their all to help out the Blaugrana.

Ronaldo scored twice in Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory.

Against Sevilla on Sunday, Rodriguez appeared to wave goodbye to the Madrid supporters but Zidane played down those suggestions. “I will pick a team as always and on Wednesday I will pick another one which, for sure, will have changes”.

The price of 21/20 (2.05) for an away win and both teams to score therefore looks tempting, with this bet paying out in six of Los Blancos’ last seven league encounters away from the Bernabeu.
