On matchweek 28, Kylian Mbappe's brace led Real Madrid to a gutsy comeback win over Villareal to keep the pace at the top. But the most significant result came a day later, as Barcelona came back from a two goal deficit to defeat title rivals Atlético Madrid.

Barcelona struck a potentially decisive blow in La Liga’s title race with a 4-2 win against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone’s home team went ahead through Julian Alvarez in the 45th minute — with the Argentina forward banishing memories of his ‘two-touch’ penalty in Atletico’s Champions League round-of-16 exit to Real Madrid in midweek.

It should be a scintillating Sunday on the continent and the standout European game of the weekend comes from the Metropolitano Stadium, where Atletico Madrid entertain La Liga title rivals Barcelona. Barca started the weekend with a one-point advantage over the Madrid pair but, crucially, with a game in hand.
