Last will welcome first in La Liga on Saturday night, as title favourites Barcelona head to a Real Valladolid outfit that have already been relegated to the Segunda Division for the 2025-26 campaign.
Barcelona are top of the La Liga table, four points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while a disastrous season has left Real Valladolid at the bottom of the division, picking up just 16 points from 33 matches.
There is no getting away from the fact that it has been an incredibly difficult campaign for Real Valladolid, with a total of 16 points from 33 matches leaving them at the bottom of the table, and as mentioned, their relegation has already been confirmed.
Real Valladolid actually beat Barcelona 3-1 in the corresponding game during the 2022-23 campaign, but the Catalan giants recorded a 7-0 victory when the two teams locked horns for the reverse fixture earlier this term.
Real Valladolid will not be under any pressure entering this match, which should help them, and Barcelona will make a number of changes to their starting side. That said, we are finding it incredibly difficult to imagine a scenario which involves Real Valladolid preventing the division leaders from claiming all three points.
