Team News and Preview

Real have one hand on the UEFA Champions League trophy and could make it a glorious double if they steal the La Liga crown at the final hurdle.

Barca lead the standings on head-to-head results, but Madrid are level on points with their archrivals and have a game in hand—their trip to the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos.

Cristiano Ronaldo suffered with a debilitating injury at the start of the season after winning UEFA Euro 2016, but his fitness has peaked at the right moment.

The club icon scored twice as Real defeated Sevilla 4-1 at home in their last game, and if results go to form, the Galacticos will become champions of Spain.

Ronaldo continues to return extraordinary statistics, scoring 22 goals and providing six assists in 27 La Liga appearances, per WhoScored.com.

Here is the Portugal international in action:

Nacho's yellow card against Sevilla dictates he will be suspended for the match at Celta, but defender Marcelo is likely to return, per WhoScored. 

Isco and Karim Benzema are tipped to partner Ronaldo in a three-man attack as the visitors attempt to make short work of the hosts. Gareth Bale remains injured as he fights to get back on the pitch.

According to WhoScored, John Guidetti is expected to start ahead of Claudio Beauvue, with striker Giuseppe Rossi out as a long-term absentee. The Italian is Celta's only injury concern, though.

Los Blancos have only won La Liga once in the past eight years, and the title has become a crusade after Barca captured the championship six times in the same period.

The Catalans will be praying for a miracle as manager Luis Enrique prepares to depart the Camp Nou, and their players will be motivated to give the coach the perfect parting gift.

However, Real are in splendid form and will feel Celta pose little threat in their penultimate game of the season.
