Real Madrid are one victory away from being crowned La Liga champions for the first time since 2017 as they prepare for Thursday's visit of Villarreal.
Los Blancos have won nine league games in a row and can secure top spot even if they taste defeat in midweek, with Barcelona needing to win both of their remaining fixtures.
The most recent of Madrid's victories came against Granada on Monday evening, with Ferland Mendy and Karim Benzema on target early on in the 2-1 away win.
