MEN’S FOOTBALL: Reigning champions Real Madrid will move back to the top of the La Liga tomorrow evening if they don’t lose at relegation-threatened Valencia.

Real are currently one point behind Madrid neighbours Atletico, who have won their last seven league games and lost just once all season.

Barcelona are third, three points off the pace, after losing their last two outings and only winning one of their last six matches.
