Barcelona have another chance to make Real Madrid suffer for a short while at least when they entertain Celta Vigo on Saturday night.
Barca know that a win, which would be their ninth in 10 games, against the side that returned to the Primera Liga this season would put them 11 points ahead of Real Madrid.
Obviously the three points would make it imperative for Madrid to win their game in order to avoid seeing the league title disappear into the distance. Barca coach Tito Vilanova will still be without central defenders Carlos Puyol and Gerard Pique for the game.
Puyol should be fit for the trip to Mallorca next weekend, while Pique has begun training with the first team squad after almost six weeks out with a twisted ankle .
Meanwhile second placed Atletico travel to Valencia in an exciting clash.
