Player to watch – Oli McBurnie
While it took Oli McBurnie until April to net his first goal in La Liga, the 28-year-old has now got two in two to supplement the solid team role he’s been playing all season. He’s either scored or assisted in five of his last nine matches.

McBurnie the creator
The Scottish forward’s tally of six assists is the most of any player who could feature in this game. Never before in his career has he managed to create so many goals in a single league season.
