Real Madrid
At the end of February, Real Madrid were nine points off the leaders Barcelona but having won 11 consecutive games, they could clinch the La Liga title in dramatic circumstances on the final day. The Whites have notched 20 goals in the last nine away games and Deportivo will do well to hold the visitors today.

Real Madrid
Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid: "We have to start the game well. It will be a tricky game away from home. Deportivo are a good team who know how to play football. They will want to end the season in the best possible way in front of their fans. We need to be focussed on what we have to do from the first minute to the last. It will be difficult, but we will fight to try and win. We have faith in La Liga. We have won the last 11 games and we are one point behind. We are going to keep the faith until the end, until the last minute, the last second."
