Real Madrid can all but seal a 36th La Liga title by defeating Barcelona at the Bernabeu at 3pm ET Sunday in El Clasico.
The affair is made more intriguing by the timing, as Real is celebrating a triumph over Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals while Barcelona exited a day earlier in ugly fashion to Paris Saint-Germain.
Real outlasted City despite being dominated at the Etihad Stadium, scoring early and surviving a 33-8 shots deficit to win via heroics from Andriy Lunin; The Ukrainian made eight saves over 120 minutes and two more in the shootout.
