    This is the how the table looks. Sevilla moved up to second after a draw with Cadiz on Friday night but they cannot now catch the leaders. Real Madrid just need a point to ensure that Barcelona cannot catch them either.

  3. Team news - Benzema on bench, Modric startspublished at 15:03 British Summer Time 30 April 2022

    Real Madrid v Espanyol (15:15 BST)

    Here are the two teams as Real top-scorer Karim Benzema gets a rest, likely with that Champions League semi-final second leg against Man City in mind. He is among eight changes from the midweek goalfest at the Etihad. The evergreen Luka Modric does start however. That guy has some stamina.

    Real Madrid XI: Courtois; Vazquez, Vallejo, Casemiro, Marcelo; Modric, Camavinga, Ceballos; Asensio, Diaz, Rodrygo.

    Subs: Lunin, Diego, Carvajal, Kroos, Benzema, Valverde, Vinicius JR, Isco, Mendy, Gila.

  4. On the brink of historypublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 30 April 2022

    Real Madrid v Espanyol (15:15 BST)

    Carlo Ancelotti is used to winning silverware, but the Italian stands on the brink of something special this afternoon.

    Never before has a manager won the title in all of Europe's five major leagues - Ligue 1, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga and La Liga.

    But if Ancelotti's Real Madrid avoid defeat against Espanyol this afternoon the 'Grand Slam' will be complete.
