The final measure of the La Liga season is here, and Real Madrid have one last step to secure a La Liga title: secure at least one point against Malaga, and the trophy is theirs.

But with the knowledge that a point is all they need comes pressure, because if Real Madrid play for a point and lose, a win for Barcelona — who play a struggling Eibar side at the same time — would mean that the title would slip from Madrid’s grasp at the last moment. That would be heartbreaking for players and fans alike, and it’s a result to be avoided at all costs.
That means that no matter what, Madrid have to come out at their focused and vicious best, because anything less and they risk courting disaster. Malaga are on a good run of form, though, so Madrid can’t just expect to waltz through this match. They have to play with a lot of intensity, and with the Champions League final on the horizon, that may be easier said than done.
Malaga have a number of players absent from this match, from the suspended Youssef En-Nesyri, to the injured Roberto Rosales, Juanpi, Bakary Kone, and Zdravko Kuzmanovic. With Real Madrid only worrying about injuries to Dani Carvajal and Gareth Bale — two excellent players, but at positions where Madrid has depth — that will be a lot of missing and important depth for Malaga to overcome.
