## Resource

Real Madrid's 2-0 victory at Espanyol means that the title race continues for at least another week and gives Barcelona the opportunity to win it in next week's Clasico in the Nou Camp. Gary and Alex look at an impressive performance from Vinicius Jr in the absence of Mbappe and an eye-catching assist from Jude Bellingham. There's also a look at Barcelona's last gasp win at Osasuna with another big contribution from Marcus Rashford, plus Atletico Madrid managed to win at Valencia despite Simeone making 11 changes ahead of the Champions League semi-final second leg with resurgent Arsenal on Tuesday.
