Real Madrid hopes to keep pace with Barcelona when they compete in the fourth sports club on Sunday night.
From their Champions League exit, it seems like Madrid's domestic hopes will get a big boost on Saturday, while Celta Vigo led 3-1 in the second half of Barca. However, after the rally around Hansi Flick, he ended up with a dramatic 4-3 victory after the arrival of Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal.
Now, their lead is 7 points at the highest point, and although there is still a Krasico, the Madrid title hopes they will be hit by the all-rounder if they fail to win on Sunday. They certainly need a big improvement from Wednesday night when they were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal.
Unlike their hosts, Athletic was happy mid-week and stepped into the Europa League final by defeating the Rangers 2-0 in the second leg of the quarter-finals on Thursday.
They will qualify for the Champions League by winning this season in Europe, but Ernesto Valverde's side also finished in the top four. The athleticism is 6 points less than Villarreal in fifth place and has not lost in La Liga since March 1.
This is 90 minutes A guide to La Liga conflict on Sunday night.

Due to the suspension of Kylian Mbappe, Ancelotti will be forced to become the top of the change. The Frenchman was sent out a terrible challenge in Alaves last week, somehow requiring VAR intervention to see a red card.
Endrick is expected to strengthen the hosts, and so far the Madrid boss is reluctant to trust the young Brazilians in La Liga. For the first year teenagers, there are very few beginnings and very far apart.
Brahim Diaz can replace Rodrygo with the right, and Fran Garcia should come in David Alaba. Federico Valverde may return to right-back and face off against Nico Williams.
In terms of injury, the owner still has no Ed Marito, Danny Carvajal and Ferland Mendy.
Real Madrid Prediction Lineup and Sports (4-2-3-1):courois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger, Garcia; Tchouameni, camavinga; Brahmin, Bellinghan, Vinicius; Enderick.
Nico Williams starred in a sports victory Thursday, but his older brother Inaki was replaced by an adductor injury. The striker can play a role in Madrid, but it is unlikely to start.
Due to calf problems, visitors will once again be without Yuri Berchiche, but they escaped their tie with Gers without more fitness complaints.
Unai Simon is one of the players preparing to return to Valverde XI.
Sports forecast lineup with Real Madrid (4-2-3-1):simon; Gorosabel, Vivian, Paredes, Lekue; Jauregizar, Prados; Berenguer, Sancet, N Williams; Guruzeta.
Barcelona won Saturday’s victory, a major psychological blow before sports’ visit to Bernabeu. Ancelotti's soldiers would be inspired by any Celta in Catalonia, which could be played most, but Flick's team now looks good for La Liga Glory.
Madrid had a bad performance against Arsenal on both legs and had a good sport to get to Sunday's match in good shape. They beat Los Blancos in the reverse match and will support themselves to ensure a rare victory in the capital.
The hosts have no control over the game against the impressive opposition, and given how dynamic their frontlines are, the movement will inevitably create a lot. However, Mbappe's absence will force Madrid's alternative superstars to step up, and people like Vini Jr and Jude Bellingham may inspire the host's results. However, the draw is not ideal.
