Real Madrid could claim its 36th La Liga crown on Saturday, but only if it gets the job done against relegation-threatened Cádiz.
Los Blancos will win the league if its result is better than Barcelona’s. Real Madrid’s eternal rivals face Girona in a match that kicks off later on Saturday.
Real Madrid has an 11-point lead with five league matches remaining, and holds the first tiebreaker (head-to-head results) over Barça.

Thibaut Courtois is expected to start, with manager Carlo Ancelotti stating that the Belgium goalkeeper will play for the first time in nine months after a long-term knee injury.
For Cádiz, meanwhile, the situation couldn’t be more dire. El Submarino Amarillo sits in the relegation zone, five points adrift of Celta Vigo in 17th place.
Beating Real Madrid is an extremely tall task, but Cádiz doesn’t really have an alternative other than to get wins. With only two remaining home games, time is running out.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
