Barcelona were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw away at Getafe on Saturday night. The match was marred by controversy, with Barca fortunate not to have lost the game.

Earlier on Saturday, Atletico Madrid suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Leganes, adding to their woes.

For Real Madrid, this means a golden opportunity to leapfrog both rivals and move to the top of the table, as they face Las Palmas at home on Sunday afternoon.

A win will take Real Madrid top of the table – two points clear of Atletico Madrid, and seven points above Barcelona.
