Get ready for an action-packed La Liga Matchday 17, taking place from December 13 – 15, 2024. The main highlight of the weekend will see high-flying Barcelona hosting Leganes on Sunday night as Hansi Flick’s team strives to solidify their position in the title race.
There is no better place to get your season-long ticket to the best football the world has to offer than DStv.
Real Madrid will face their city rivals, Rayo Vallecano, at the Vallecas Stadium on Saturday night. Despite not having a successful campaign so far, Rayo Vallecano always brings their best against Los Blancos and hopes to hinder their rival’s title defense.
Vallecano attacker Jorge de Frutos expressed his excitement for the special atmosphere that Real Madrid’s visit will bring: “As the champions and a great team, Real Madrid will face a unique environment at our home ground. However, other teams have shown how to play against them, and we aim to capitalize on this knowledge.”
Barcelona, with aspirations to dethrone Real Madrid as champions of La Liga, will have the opportunity to respond to their rival’s result 24 hours later. They will welcome Leganes to the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Montjuic.
In recent weeks, Barcelona has shown some weaknesses. Coach Hansi Flick demands complete intensity and dedication from his team to restore them to their best form: “I have emphasized that the result is a consequence of our performance. If we don’t play at 100 percent, we can’t expect to win. It’s as simple as that.”
The round kicks off on Friday night with Real Valladolid hosting Valencia at the Jose Zorrilla Municipal Stadium. Saturday will feature Sevilla taking on Celta Vigo at home, where they look to Belgian striker Dodi Lukebakio for inspiration.
Coach Garcia Pimienta acknowledged Dodi’s significant contribution this season and his impressive improvement: “Dodi has been exceptional for us, and we are amazed by his progress. He is determined to score more goals, and it’s our responsibility to provide him with the necessary support.”
A busy Sunday includes an all-Basque clash between Deportivo Alaves and Athletic Bilbao, Villarreal’s pursuit of a home win against Real Betis, and Atletico Madrid hosting their own derby against Getafe at the Metropolitano Stadium in the Spanish capital.
