FC Barcelona's victory in Cádiz maintained the eight-point difference between the culés and Real Madrid one week before the Clásico at the Bernabéu. With seven days to play, everything can be decided next week in Chamartín

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The closing of LaLiga 2023/24 can be a hand manually to the red alive between the FC Barcelona and the Real Madrid. Both won the Saturday like visitors in front of Cádiz and Mallorca, respectively, with which the 'merengues' keep his advantage of eight points on the culés with seven days for contesting. Historically, all the teams that have arrived to these heights of the championship with a similar advantage have been champions, a precedent that puts to the Barça against the ropes.

In this sense, the Classical of the next Sunday will be an authentic 'final' by the title, further of the six parties that each team will have by in front in the last month of the season. A Barcelona triumph would approach to the ones of Xavi Hernández to five points, whereas the local victory would move away to the ones of Carlo Ancelotti to eleven units. The tie also would favour to the whites, a factor that forces to the Barça to win yes or yes to keep live the fight by the title.

The calendar, very parejo for Barça and Madrid in the closing of LaLiga

In general lines, the calendar of Barça and Madrid after the Classical is quite parejo regarding complicated and accessible parties on the paper. The culés will receive to Valencia by the day 33 and, a week later, will have a hard visit to the Girona. The last four duels suspender belts for the ones of Xavi have to Real Sociedad (house), Almería (was), Ray (house) and Seville (was) in the horizon, with the visit to Andalucia like the most complex stop.

Instead, the ones of Carlo Ancelotti have to face the one who, in principle, will be his more difficult duel in the straight final of LaLiga a week after the Classical, in San Sebastián in front of the Real Sociedad. In the day 33, the Madrid has to receive to the Cádiz and, afterwards, visit to the Granada. Alavés (House), Villarreal (was) and Betis (house) will be the three last rivals 'mrengues' in the tournament, with the visit to the 'yellow submarine' as only duel of high risk.

The Champions, a key factor for the resolution of LaLiga

On the other hand, the definition of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League also can be a factor determinant in the definition of LaLiga, so much in the anímico as in the physical. An elimination in front of Paris Saint-Germain or the Manchester City, respectively, can do that so much culés as 'merengues' go down the arms of face to the final stretch of the 2023/24, since the 'orejona' is permanent priority for both.

Of the same way, any one of the two that advance to 'semis' will have an upper physical wear with the crosses to contest between the last week of April and the first week of May. In the case of the Barça, the eliminatory in front of Athletic or Dortmund would force to Xavi to rotar in the duels in front of Valencia (house) and Girona (was). The own would do Ancelotti if the Madrid had to confront to Bayern or Arsenal in the Champions, conditioning his eleven for the parties against Real Sociedad (was) and Cádiz (house).
