Nothing gave between the two Spanish capital heavyweights but the LaLiga race did reduce to a two-way fight, with Barcelona knocking themselves out. 

Ronald Koeman's rocky first season won't end with glory, after Celta Vigo came from behind to win 2-1, with Santi Mina crushing the 10-man Catalans' hopes with an 89th-minute winner.

Villarreal visit Real. Unai Emery's men also have much to play for, sitting one place outside the Europa League qualification spots and within a point of both Real Betis and Real Sociedad.
