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 saw their La Liga match with Osasuna called off at late notice on March 8.The decision was appropriate following a bereavement for the Catalan club earlier that day, but it meant some difficulty in finding a suitable time slot for the fixture.

Barcelona's Raphinha and Ronald Araujo and Osasuna's Enzo Boyomo will likely miss the game due to their international commitments.
