The Spanish top division is heading towards its business end with matchday 34 fixtures going down this weekend.

Nigerian players are expected to be in the thick of the action as they engage in different missions with their respective teams.

While some are trying to stay afloat and escape relegation others are preoccupied with bigger things; trying to get a Champions League spot with their team.

Top of the bill is the Villarreal and Barcelona tie witch pitches Nigerian whizkid, Samuel Chukwueze, against Lionel Messi and the rest of the star-studded Catalan side.

Here is a peep into LaLiga games involving Nigerian players this weekend.

Real Madrid will be banking on Super Eagles’ whizkid Samuel Chukwueze to deliver the much-needed blow that will end FC Barcelona’s Laliga title chase when Lionel Messi come visiting on Sunday.

For a youngster who fought his way to the top in the pecking order of regulars at the club, it is no small achievement that Chukwueze has become indispensable at the club in their quest to pick UEFA Champions League slot this season.

With three straight draws from their last four Laliga matches, Barca saw themselves knocked off the perch by Real Madrid. Expectedly, Barca will surely have their hands full if Chukwueze finds his Mojo.

Villarreal are fifth on the table with 54 points from 33 matches while Barca need outright win to bounce back to contention. A drama is highly expected in the clash after the reversed tie ended 4-4 apiece.
