La Liga is also back in action after a three-week break, with league-leading Barcelona already holding a five-point lead over Atlético Madrid and Betis, while sitting six points ahead of Real Madrid.
The “Blaugrana” host Getafe and are looking to extend their perfect 8-0 record, while the “Queen” plays at home against Villarreal and needs nothing less than the “three points” to put their derby loss to Atlético behind them.
