On a more positive note, Andreas Christensen has returned to training after a knee issue, though he is expected to start on the bench as he lacks match fitness.

Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid arrives in Barcelona amidst significant internal turmoil and a depleted roster. The squad is reeling from a reported physical altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni, which has left Valverde sidelined with a head injury.
However, there is a boost in morale as Kylian Mbappe has been cleared to play despite recent hamstring concerns, and Thibaut Courtois is also expected to start.
The partnership of Vinicius Junior and Mbappe will need to continue their goalscoring form to delay Barcelona’s title celebration against them.
Form
Barcelona
Barcelona are in sensational form, currently sitting 11 points clear at the top of La Liga with 88 points. Hansi Flick’s side has secured 10 consecutive league victories, most recently a 2-1 win away at Osasuna on May 3. Their relentless momentum has placed them on the brink of the La Liga title, needing just a single point today to officially secure their 29th league trophy.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s form has been inconsistent as they struggle to keep pace, sitting in second with 77 points. Los Blancos have managed only two wins in their last five outings across all competitions, reflecting a dip in momentum. Their most recent result was a 2-0 victory over Espanyol, which briefly delayed Barcelona’s coronation. However, internal friction and a mounting injury crisis have left them vulnerable heading into this must-win title decider.
