The 2023/24 La Liga season will move into its final phase in the coming weeks and the 20 teams will face eight more games each.
At the bottom, Celta Vigo sit just above the relegation zone, following the departure of former Liverpool and Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez last month.
In the title race, Real Madrid look set to cross the finish line, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side holding an eight-point lead over second-place rivals Barcelona ahead of their meeting on 21 April.
However, there will be no La Liga matches this weekend, as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid will have an extra rest before their crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final clashes next week.
Why are there no La Liga games this weekend?
The La Liga calendar has been clarified this weekend with the Copa del Rey final between Athletic Club and Mallorca on Saturday, April 6.
The grand final of the Spanish national cup still enjoys great prestige in Spanish football, and La Liga traditionally eliminates all first pision league matches during the weekend of each season.
When is LaLiga back?
La Liga fans will only have to wait a week for the competition to return, with matches scheduled for April 12-14, and the campaign ending on May 26.
Atlético Madrid will host Girona, one of the four main rivals, on Saturday April 13, while Real Madrid heads to Mallorca and Barcelona travels to Cádiz, all on the same day of action.
