La Liga is heading towards its final stages, and once again it’s between hosts Real Madrid and the Blaugrana. With Carlo Ancelotti’s team already heading for the title with an 8-point lead over Barca, a win could impress Tom Brady again after 2017. Brady praised Barcelona saying, “Congratulations on your incredible victory and good luck keeping the magic alive the rest of the way,” after their comeback in the 2017 UEFA Champions League round against PSG in the round of 16.

Moreover, FC Barcelona would want to take revenge for last time’s loss after Jude Bellingham’s heroics won the game for Madrid. Overall, it seems like the tempo is set for the iconic clash. But who will end up triumphant? Let us know in the comments.
