Real Madrid and Barcelona continue their close tussle for the Spanish league title this weekend with just three games to go and both clubs leading the table on the same number of points.
Real Madrid host Deportivo La Coruna and Barcelona entertain Getafe today as they attempt to forge out an advantage.
Fourth-placed Valencia, four points behind the leading two, also have a home match today against Villarreal.
Valencia are finishing the season on a high and are on a run of five consecutive victories with 33-year-old Frenchman Robert Pires in fine form.
Sevilla, in third spot two points behind the leaders, play tomorrow against Real Zaragoza.
Real Madrid, who, like Valencia, are on a run of five victories, are in confident mood in the run-up to the Deportivo fixture.
It will also in theory be the penultimate Santiago-Bernebeu stadium appearance for two of the big names at the club -- David Beckham who joins Los Angeles Galaxy next season, and Robert Carlos who said in March he would leave after this season following 11 years at the club.
Barcelona, who beat Atletico Madrid 6-0 last weekend, play Getafe who shocked them in the Spanish Cup semi-finals by winning 4-0 at home following a 5-2 loss at the Nou Camp.
At the other end of the table, this 36th round of matches could see the relegation of both Gimnastic Tarragona and Celta Vigo. The two Basque clubs Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao continue their fight against relegation against Osasuna and Real Mallorca respectively.

Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock).

They fought back in the second set and managed to break their opponents’ serve in the eighth game to triumph 6-3. In the tiebreaker, Chan and Kudermetova took a 3-0 lead before their opponents clawed back two points, but
Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital.
