Real Madrid will be on their way to bag another Spanish La Liga title this season and the last hurdle in their way is going to be Malaga. The Galacticos need just one point from their next match to topple their arch rivals Barcelona from their place as the defending champions and win the coveted crown this season.
However, Malaga are known for their resilience against the big clubs and will definitely look to make it tough for the Galacticos to keep the result in their favour. Barcelona will also be hoping for an upset in this match to help them retain the La Liga title in consecutive seasons.

Key Players-
Malaga-
Sandro Ramirez, the ex-Barcelona striker has been a revelation for Malaga throughout the current season. With 14 goals this season so far, the Spaniard is in very good form since his arrival from Nou Camp and will be the main man to cause some damage to Real Madrid’s title hopes in their next matchup at La Rosaleda.
Real Madrid-
Cristiano Ronaldo, undoubtedly, is the man Los Blancos will be looking towards to bring them the glory this season. He has been in prolific form of late and will look to add to his tally of 24 goals so far this season. Malaga will, on the other hand, definitely be looking to keep him away from scoring against them in the next match.
Likely Outcome-
Real Madrid, although need just a single point from their matchup against Malaga to win the La Liga title, is expected to go in for the kill at La Rosaleda. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored a brace in the last match and will look to end the season in style. Malaga, however, is known for their resilience and will look to repeat their performance in the famous win against Barcelona earlier this season.
