With just three games to go, Barcelona are now in a strong position to finish the season in second place. They will be hoping to build on their recent form and secure a Champions League spot for next season.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, remain in sixth place, four points behind fourth-placed Atlético Madrid. The Basque side have now lost two of their last three games, and they will need to improve their form if they want to qualify for Europe next season.
In the other game on Monday night, Real Betis beat Getafe 1-0 to move up to fifth place. The win was Betis's third in a row, and it moved them above Villarreal into fifth place. The Andalusian side are now just one point behind fourth-placed Atlético Madrid, and they will be hoping to continue their good form in the final three games of the season.
The La Liga title race is now approaching its climax, and it is still all to play for. Barcelona are in the driving seat, but Real Madrid are still in the hunt. The two rivals will meet in a crunch match at the Camp Nou on May 16, and that game could decide the destination of the title.
