With Atlético Madrid officially "raising the white flag" early, the race for the La Liga championship will be decided after a fierce confrontation between Barcelona and Real Madrid at Montjuic Stadium in Catalunya at 9:15 p.m. today, May 11 (SCTV live coverage). The fourth El Clasico match of this season between these two "giants" has the meaning of a final match.
Barcelona determined to win fourth El Clasico of the season
Coach Hansi Flick's team is leading the table with 79 points, 4 points ahead of arch-rivals Real Madrid. A win now will almost certainly help Barcelona win the La Liga championship and if the reverse happens, 3 away points will help coach Carlo Ancelotti's team narrow the gap to 1 point before the final three rounds.
Interesting fact: Barca have beaten Real in 3 Clasicos this season: 4-0 in the first leg, then the Spanish Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final at the end of April. However, Real have won 4/5 of their most recent away matches against Barca.
If Barca continues to win against Real, coach Flick will become the first coach after Pep Guardiola to have 4 consecutive wins in El Clasico!
Barca not only have the advantage of playing at home but also welcome back their main striker Lewandowski, who has scored 40 goals this season. The Polish star will surely start after only coming on in the 90th minute of the semi-final second leg defeat to Inter Milan in midweek. He has scored 12 goals against Real in 17 matches.
However, in terms of physical strength, Real must be more energetic after having a full week of rest before El Clasico, although the motivation in the big match is not necessarily a disadvantage but also a motivation to help Barca exert all their strength for the most important victory of the season.

Besides the two-horse race between Barcelona and Real Madrid, the battle for a place in next season's European Cup is equally exciting. According to UEFA regulations, Spain is awarded up to 5 places in the Champions League.
In addition to the trio of Barca, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who have already secured tickets, Bilbao will almost certainly be the fourth representative of La Liga in the continental arena.

The final position is still unclear, but Villarreal is in the lead with the latest victory with a score of 1-0 at Girona. Betis has not played in round 35 and is 4 points behind Villarreal, forced to take full points against Osasuna in the early morning of May 12 to continue to maintain hope.

At the bottom of the table, Valladolid has secured relegation with 16 points, but Las Palmas (32 points) and Leganés (31 points) still have a chance to stay in La Liga as long as they can win all three final matches.
