LaLiga leaders Barcelona will look to extend their lead over second-placed Real Madrid to seven points when the teams meet in the Spanish top flight on Sunday.

With only four games to play of the domestic season in Spain, victory for Barca would put one hand on the title that Real won last season.

It would also cap a season of dominance for the Catalan club over their fierce rivals.

media looks through all the talking points and news before the final El Clasico of the season.

Real Madrid’s season appeared disastrous a few weeks ago, but if Carlo Ancelotti’s side can finally beat rivals Barcelona in Sunday’s Clasico, their title defence will be resuscitated.

A victory for Real would narrow the gap to one point with three games to play.

Madrid were left licking their wounds after a Champions League quarterfinal thrashing by Arsenal, and coach Ancelotti is poised to depart at the end of the season, but it could yet be with a major trophy in his hands.

Barcelona’s European dream ended at the hands of Inter Milan on Tuesday, no doubt brightening spirits in the Spanish capital.

With Barcelona’s quadruple dream crushed by Inter, should Madrid defend their title, they could even classify their season as a success.

The Catalans have already secured the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup, both of which they won by beating Real Madrid in the final.

Barcelona were 4-0 winners at Real Madrid in the first El Clasico of the LaLiga season in October.

Robert Lewandowski put the visitors two up early in the second half at Santiago Bernabeu. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha completed the scoring.

Combined with the two cup victories, Barcelona have netted 12 goals across the three games so far.
