Summary

Real Madrid have failed to win any of their last three matches in all competitions — is a crisis unfolding at the Bernabéu? Barcelona, meanwhile, have surged to within a point after a demolition job against Athletic Club, celebrating their return to the Camp Nou for the first time since May 2023.
