Barcelona Form


Barcelona have won 11 of their last 13 matches and remain in contention in three competitions. They went unbeaten in 24 games, the run ending in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, losing 3-1 in Germany after a 4-0 victory in Spain.

Hansi Flick’s side survived a big scare against Celta Vigo before winning 4-3 in a thriller. Ferran Torres scored early but they were 3-1 down in the second half, Raphinha assisting Dani Olmo and scoring twice himself including a crucial penalty deep into added time.

The Catalans are coming off a 1-0 win against Mallorca. It was complete domination following 78% possession, 40-4 shots and 3.43-0.33 expected goals, Dani Olmo’s goal the difference.

Real Madrid Form


Real Madrid failed to win in their opening three matches in April and have gone off the boil. They lost 2-1 against Valencia and twice against Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, 3-0 in London and 2-1 in Spain.

Los Blancos have managed to win three straight in La Liga where they trail leaders Barcelona by four points. Kylian Mbappé was sent off in the first half but Eduardo Camavinga’s strike was enough to earn a 1-0 win at Deportivo Alaves.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side dominated Athletic Bilbao with 2.41-0.13 expected goals, winning 1-0 following Federico Valverde’s 92nd minute strike. Arda Güler got the start and scored in a 1-0 win at Getafe on Wednesday.
