We are into the final five games of the 2023-24 La Liga season, and if things continue their current course, we could see the name of the champions being engraved in the cup sooner rather than later.
Following last week's results, Real Madrid are edging closer to one more league title, but with more games to play due to their involvement in the UEFA Champions League, we cannot discard a potential slump that could deviate them from their efforts to win another title. That is precisely what Barcelona, and Girona to some extent, are waiting for to keep their options to leapfrog them alive.
The race to finish fourth will also live one of its top moments this week, as the two teams involved in that race will lock horns against each other. Additionally, the battle to earn a spot in European tournaments will continue with up to four teams gunning for one of those tickets.
When it comes to the relegation battle, things at the bottom seem to be nearing its end, with Cádiz losing crucial points in this race recently. Nonetheless, their poor form could still have a lifeline thanks to Mallorca, a team that has experienced a dip in form recently and could be in for a rough finish to their season.
Let us guide you through the upcoming weekend in La Liga.

Top games to watch
Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid - Los Merengues asked this game to be moved ahead to enjoy some rest before their trip to Munich, mainly because everyone know their game against Real Sociedad will not be a walk in the park. Los Blancos have won two out of their last four at Anoeta, but the most recent game with Real Sociedad as hosts ended in a 2-0 win for the Txuri-urdin. Real Madrid won the first match of the season against Real Sociedad with a tight 2-1 score, and we could anticipate to witness a similarly close game this time around.

Atlético Madrid vs Athletic Club - After crashing out of the Champions League, Los Colchoneros need to finish their performance in La Liga on a high note. Their top hopes rely on winning the fourth spot of the competition, which is up for grabs between them and Athletic Club. Atlético have a slightly better record than the Lions before this game, but Athletic have won three in a row facing Simeone's men, including a 2-0 victory back in December, when they first met in this La Liga season.

Barcelona vs Valencia - The final edition of El Clásico this season saw Barcelona dropping the ball after claiming the lead not once, but twice during the game. Now, Xavi Hernández's men will try to pick up the pieces when they face Valencia at home, one of those teams trying to secure a spot in European tournaments next season. Barcelona are unbeaten against Valencia in their last seven games, but given that their last match ended in a draw and with Valencia's need for a win, we can hint this will be a good game to watch for all casual La Liga fans.
