Chris Winterburn takes a look at the remaining LaLiga season and picks out five things that will happen in the remaining games.

After carefully monitoring the progress made by the Bundesliga in returning to action following the COVID-19 enforced suspension of competition, LaLiga will resume this week with all eyes on the race for the title between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Yet, it’s not just the battle between Spanish football’s eternal rivals that will catch the eye as clubs in various different positions in the table fight to either survive or, in some cases, overachieve.

After Los Blancos’ Clasico victory over Quique Setien’s Barcelona, the Catalan club has seen their lead at the summit of the Spanish top flight cut to just two points, leaving us with a mouth-watering end to the campaign where any mistake could be costly.

Real Sociedad continue to be the surprise package of the season, with their quite wondrous attacking duo of Martin Odegaard and the in-demand Mikel Oyarzabal combining to make Imanol Alguacil’s side the most exciting in LaLiga.
