Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champions should Real Madrid fail to beat mid-table Mallorca on Wednesday night.
Madrid's faint hopes of retaining the title were all but dashed at the weekend as they succumbed to their fourth defeat to Barca this season. While Kylian Mbappe became the 14th player in Madrid's history to net a hat-trick in El Clasico, Carlo Ancelotti's side failed to contain their high-powered hosts and lost 4-3.
Barca now boast a seven-point lead with three games to go. Los Blancos must win out and hope Hansi Flick's men embark on the most staggering of collapses to usurp their Clasico rivals.
Madrid are facing a tricky Mallorca outfit they beat 3-0 in the Supercopa semifinals earlier this year, having drawn 1-1 in the reverse fixture at the start of the season. Wednesday's visitors haven't won at the Bernabeu since May 2009, and a rare victory in the capital would bolster their European hopes greatly.
Mallorca are level on points with eighth-place Rayo Vallecano with three games to go, and their final-day tussle with Rayo looks set to be decisive in determining who'll play Conference League football next season.
Here's guide to Wednesday's La Liga clash.
