Match Preview
FC Barcelona, current LaLiga leaders with 76 points, travel to face Real Valladolid, who have already been mathematically relegated, aiming to preserve their four-point lead over Real Madrid and take another step toward the domestic title. Hansi Flick's side is coming off a 3-3 draw against Inter Milan in the Champions League semifinals and will rotate several key players ahead of the return leg in Italy.
Meanwhile, Real Valladolid, bottom of the table, will look to end the season with dignity and provide a moment of joy for their fans, many of whom have expressed frustration with the club’s management. Interim coach Álvaro Rubio will aim to take advantage of Barcelona’s rotated lineup to grab points at home.
