Within a 24-hour window, both Barcelona and Real Madrid were knocked out of the Champions League, leaving La Liga fixtures as the only remaining competitions on their calendars.
Spain's two most dominant clubs were eliminated in the quarterfinal round of Europe's premier club competition. Barcelona fell to Atlético Madrid 3–2 on aggregate on Tuesday, while Real Madrid were beaten by Bayern Munich 6–4 on aggregate on Wednesday.
With no European silverware left to pursue, the fierce rivals must now redirect their full focus to La Liga in the closing weeks of the campaign. For Barcelona, this presents little concern — Hansi Flick's side leads the table by nine points, with another league crown well within their grasp.
Real Madrid, however, now face the grim prospect of a trophy-free season unless they can engineer something extraordinary in Spain's top flight over their upcoming run of games, most notably what is shaping up to be a heated Clásico.
Barcelona, Real Madrid's Next Five La Liga Games
Barcelona | Real Madrid |
|---|---|
Celta Vigo (H) – April 22 | Alavés (H) – April 21 |
Getafe (A) – April 25 | Real Betis (A) – April 24 |
Osasuna (A) – May 3 | Espanyol (A) – May 3 |
Real Madrid (H) – May 10 | Barcelona (A) – May 10 |
Alavés (A) – May 13 | Real Oviedo (H) – May 13 |
With Champions League duties behind them, Barcelona can freely — if reluctantly — shift their focus back to what they excel at: dismantling La Liga opposition. Following a brief break in domestic play for this weekend's Copa del Rey final, the Catalans resume league action on Wednesday against Celta Vigo, a side they already put four goals past in the earlier meeting this season.
Shortly after, Barcelona travel to face Getafe. While the eighth-place outfit has found some momentum over the past two months, recording notable victories against Villarreal, Real Madrid, and Real Betis, they remain well below the defending champions' standard — a gap of 38 points in the standings makes that abundantly clear. Much the same applies to ninth-place Osasuna.
Following those back-to-back away fixtures, Flick's squad returns to Camp Nou to host Real Madrid. The outcome may carry little weight in what is effectively a settled title race, but the sport's greatest rivalry still promises to deliver a thrilling Clásico between two sides with genuine animosity toward one another.
Barcelona may still be riding the emotional wave of that Madrid clash when they must shift focus to Alavés, a side hovering just above the relegation zone and desperate to preserve their top-flight status.
On the subject of Alavés, Real Madrid kick off their return to domestic football against the struggling club at the Bernabéu on Tuesday. That contest should amount to little more than a comfortable victory before Álvaro Arbeloa's side makes the trip to the Estadio Benito Villamarín, where a Real Betis team capable of causing real problems awaits.
Next, Los Blancos face a challenging journey into Catalonia. First on the agenda is Espanyol, who have claimed victory in two of their last three home encounters against the 15-time European champions. They have yet to win a match in 2026, however, which will have Real Madrid already looking past them toward the Clásico.
Having lost four Clásicos last season, securing two wins from three in 2025–26 would represent meaningful redemption for Los Blancos — even if the Camp Nou encounter carries nothing beyond bragging rights.
Arbeloa's men then return to the Bernabéu following three straight away fixtures. Their opponents will be relegation-destined Real Oviedo, a side that has managed just six wins from 31 league outings this season.
