The title race in La Liga comes down to Saturday as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid look to take home the crown, their first since the 2013-14. Real Madrid, in second place and two points back, face Villarreal, while Atleti have to battle relegation candidates Real Valladolid.
Standings:
Atletico Madrid (83 points, +41 goal differential)
Real Madrid (81 points, +38 goal differential)
Tiebreaker rules
Head-to-head points between tied teams
Head-to-head goal difference
Goal difference
Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Atletico Madrid back in December gives them the tiebreak edge should both teams finish the season level on points.
Scenarios to win the title:
Atletico Madrid have a pretty straight forward path to the title, controlling their own destiny. Win the game against a relegation-threatened Valladolid team and they win the league. They could also lift the trophy if they match Real Madrid's result or if Real Madrid lose their game. Real Madrid need to win and have a little bit of help. It will take three points and for Atleti to drop points.

Atletico Madrid win + Real Madrid win
Atletico Madrid win + Real Madrid lose
Atletico Madrid win + Real Madrid draw
Atletico Madrid draw + Real Madrid draw
Atletico Madrid draw + Real Madrid lose
Atletico Madrid lose + Real Madrid lose
