Key Players
Analysis
It’s going to be an exciting end to the La Liga campaign with Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona all in the contention to win the league title. With the finish line in sight and only 4 points separating the trio, this will be a crucial game for the Catalan giants.
This will be a close match and is likely to be decided by moments of quality which attack-minded players like Dembele, Messi, Griezmann, Oyarzabal, Portu and Isak can provide in this match. These players will create goal-scoring opportunities in the match and are good options to try as captain and vice-captain.
Real Sociedad have struggled for form of late and have looked a bit rusty at times. Based purely on form, Barcelona are the strong favourites to win this match owing to their recent good performances. However, Sociedad will also be up for the fight and look to move up the table. Prediction for this game is 2-1 to Barcelona.

Barcelona
Ter Stegen; Mingueza, Lenglet, De Jong; Dest, Busquets, Pedri, Alba; Dembele, Messi, Griezmann
