Real Sociedad is on the brink of relegation with only one win in their last nine games. The San Sebastian side, concerned about the drop, will face Atlético Madrid, who are more focused on the Champions League. Meanwhile, under Pellegrino Matarazzo, Real Sociedad is in fine form, competing for a European spot and reaching the Copa del Rey final. In another match, Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 1-2, with Robert Lewandowski's 88th-minute goal sealing the victory. This win all but secures the title for Barcelona. The Catalan side, the best both home and away this season, has opened a significant lead over Real Madrid. While Barça consistently wins, the Merengues are making mistakes, widening the gap. The situation in the lower half of the table is also tense. Sevilla, who lost to Oviedo, is just two points above the relegation zone. Elche, Mallorca, and Alavés are also fighting to avoid the drop. The race for European spots is also intriguing, with teams battling for fifth, sixth, and seventh place. Betis and Getafe are tied for fifth with 41 points, while Valencia, one point behind, is also in contention.
