Real Madrid seeks edge over Barcelona before La Liga’s dramatic close this weekend

>> Before Real Madrid and Barcelona settle La Liga’s title this weekend, Real will play its match in hand today on the road against Celta Vigo. The leaders are level on 87 points, but Real will retain control of the race by avoiding defeat against a Celta side in free fall: five consecutive losses in league play and three points in the past eight outings to fall to 13th place.

Zinedine Zidane’s squad, meantime, has won four straight since the home setback against Barcelona last month, scoring 16 goals along the way. BeIN Sports will provide coverage on the English and Spanish platforms, starting at 2:50 p.
