Barcelona, the leader of the Spanish Football League, is looking forward to returning to a winning tone locally after stumbling in the last two stages, when it hosts Las Palmas in the 15th stage today, while Real Madrid, riddled with injuries, hopes to continue to put pressure on its traditional rival, when it meets its guest, Getafe, tomorrow. The last two stages witnessed a suspicious decline for the Catalan club after a long series without defeat, as it lost to Real Sociedad 0-1, then tied against Celta Vigo 2-2, reducing its lead to only four points with Real, with the latter having one less match.
The Blaugrana regained the winning tone by sweeping Brest, France, 3-0, in midweek in the Champions League, which placed it in third place on the continent, and the match against Las Palmas 17 represented an ideal opportunity to regain its local luster.
The last draw against Celta Vigo was notable after Barcelona led 2-0 until the 82nd minute before its player Marc Casado was sent off, which Celta Vigo took advantage of to score two goals within two minutes and come out with a valuable point.
