Rival watch: Barcelona superstar set to miss El Clasico vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid’s chances of making a late push for the La Liga title, as things stand, are slim to none.
Even though they managed to end their winless run this week by defeating Deportivo Alaves, Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo means Los Blancos remain nine points behind their rivals.
For Real Madrid to have even a glimmer of hope, they will need Barça to drop points in their next couple of games before the second El Clasico of the season on 10 May.
No Lamine Yamal for Clasico
When the Clasico does come around in a little over two weeks, Barcelona are set to be without their main attacking weapon, Lamine Yamal, reports AS.
During last night’s game against Celta Vigo, the 18-year-old wonderkid went down clutching the back of his thigh minutes after scoring the match-winning penalty late in the first half.
