La Liga Round of 32 preview: Real Madrid host Almeria as Athletic Bilbao travel to Mallorca

-

SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to Round 32 action from the 2022-23 La Liga, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 28 April to Monday 1 May 2023.

DStv and GOtv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.

SuperSport is the only place where you can get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where the headline fixture sees Barcelona welcome Real Betis to the Camp Nou. The Blaugrana have enjoyed an outstanding season on the league front, while the Verdiblancos are fighting to secure European football for next term and need a positive result in Catalunya.

“I think it’s difficult to be like [Manchester United legendary manager Sir Alex] Ferguson, I hope to be, here at Barcelona,” manager Xavi said of the legacy he would like to leave. “I am grateful to the president, he tells me that he is happy with the work that all the staff are doing.

“The president is faithful and loyal and we are grateful for that. I hope he stays here for years, but we depend on the results. It’s not the time to talk [about a renewal], I have one more year to go [on my contract].”

Outgoing La Liga champions Real Madrid will be at home to Almeria, while Atletico Madrid will face Real Valladolid at Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla. The two capital city heavyweights are fighting to finish in second spot behind Barca, and the Rojiblancos have credited their improved form in the second half of the season to simple hard work.

“What has changed [since the World Cup]? The first thing was realising the things we weren’t doing well, wanting to turn around the unpleasant situation we were going through, and knowing what it means to wear the Atleti shirt, what it costs,” said Mario Hermoso.

The round also features key relegation clashes, with in-danger Valencia and Espanyol facing Cadiz away and Getafe at home respectively, while European-chasing clubs Real Sociedad and Villarreal will be away to Osasuna and at home to Celta Vigo respectively.

“We have built some good momentum, now we need to maintain it to the end of the season,” said Yellow Submarine manager Quique Setien. “A place in Europe looked very far away a couple of months ago, but it is within our reach now.”

No rival can compete with SuperSport’s coverage. Our viewers on DStv and GOtv enjoy an unrivalled selection of football from around the world!
