Athletic Club Bilbao: The impact of this week's Champions League matches on the outcome of La Liga's title race will unfold in the coming days as FC Barcelona travel to a heartbroken and fatigued Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid face a challenging away game against Villarreal, who is vying for a spot in next season's Champions League.

Carlo Ancelotti's side has displayed signs of fatigue in recent matches, and facing a team brimming with attacking talent like Ayoze Perez, Alex Baena, and Yeremy Pino will not be easy after the emotionally and physically draining 120 minutes of football, reports Xinhua.
