The remaining fixtures for Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga this season

Real Madrid lost top spot in LaLiga Santander after losing 2-1 away to Real Betis on Sunday night.

Given Barcelona's 1-0 win against Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou one day prior, the Catalans now have a two-point lead over their arch-rivals at the top of the table.

Now, with 11 games remaining in LaLiga Santander, Real Madrid will be hoping for Barcelona a slip-up.

Los Blancos have six matches left at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and five away from home, while Barcelona have five at home and six away.

Each team has three fixtures that stand out in terms of their difficulty: Valencia at home and then Real Sociedad and Athletic Club away for Real Madrid, whereas Barcelona have two tough away games at Sevilla and Athletic Club, as well as hosting Atletico Madrid.
