We take a look at seven key points that spice up the match ups is LaLiga Gameweek 29.
LaLiga returns for Gameweek 29 this weekend after midweek action in Europe saw the league's only two representatives on the continent pick up positive first-leg results. Real Madrid grabbed a victory against Chelsea, while Sevilla drew at Old Trafford.
Barcelona are 13 points clear at the top of the league and are set for their first LaLiga title since the 2018/19 season. However, although the league title looks decided, there is still so much to fight for.
Atletico could leapfrog Real Madrid this gameweek
Real Madrid were in the title race, and Atletico Madrid had a terrible start to the season that saw them finish last in their Champions League group and were uncharacteristically uninvolved in competing for the league title.
)
However, a string of bad results for Los Blancos and a run of 12 games in which Atletico Madrid have been unbeaten since January, drawing three and winning nine, including each of their last five, have left them only two points away from their local rivals.
Real Madrid play first this gameweek in a complicated tie away at Cadiz. If they lose to the Yellow Submarines, who have already beaten them once since their return to the top flight and earned a draw twice, they risk being overtaken on the league table by Atleti, who host Almeria.

LaLiga betting tips for this week's games
This weekend sees the continuation of the LaLiga games, and there are some intriguing options and fixtures to watch out for.
Lewandowski v Benzema pichichi race heats up
The Polish striker looked to be running away with the LaLiga golden boot award with his blistering early season form; however, his pace has since slowed up, and the goals have come occasionally.
Benzema, on the other hand, seems to have found the rhythm he was lacking at the start of the season, and has reduced the gap to three goals.
Closely following Lewandowski's 17 goals and Benzema's 14 are Enes Unal with 13 goals, Iago Aspas, Joselu, Vedat Muriqi, and Borja Iglesias, all on 12.

The four for two top four spots
It is increasingly likely that there are now three teams gunning for one spot, with Atletico Madrid's red-hot form having put them six points ahead of the nearest team in the chasing pack.
However, all four teams—Atleti, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, and Villarreal—were previously in competition for Champions League places, and six points is surmountable with 10 games to go.
La Reale are current favourites to land fourth place and are four points ahead of Villarreal and six above Betis; however, the Basque club have shown inconsistencies that cast doubts over their ability to hold on to the spot.
Villarreal are the most in form following their victory over Real Madrid, while Betis, who were initially predicted to finish in the top four, have dropped off following injuries and suspensions.
