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.

The Competition judge's decision to use La Liga's proposed date ignores the preferences of both Barcelona and Osasuna. The clubs sought a date that would minimize disruptions caused by international call-ups for their players.

Villareal takes on Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Saturday, March 15. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CET local time, making it a 1:30 p.m. ET and 10:30 a.m. PT start in the US, a 5:30 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 4:30 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Sunday.
