SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to Round 35 action from the 2022-23 La Liga, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 19 to Monday 21 May 2023.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 it\u2019s literally \u2018Unbeatable Football\u2019! If you\u2019re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.<\/p>\n

SuperSport is the only place where you can get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where the headline fixture sees Barcelona play host to Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou. The Blaugrana are celebrating a first title triumph since 2019, with manager Xavi Hernandez insisting that he is enjoying his role \u2013 despite the pressures that are part and parcel of his job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not understand those who say that the league is long,\u201d said the Barca legend. \u201cIt was long when we were going for second place. La Liga\u00a0is not long for me now, it makes me happy. What is \u2018long\u2019 if we are to win the league? I am having a good time. I don\u2019t understand the media; I\u2019m having a wonderful time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Outgoing champions Real Madrid face a clash at Estadio de Mestalla against a Valencia team which has endured a difficult season, though manager Carlo Ancelotti has warned his players that they cannot take anything for granted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing against teams that are fighting for important things, whether it\u2019s relegation or to play in the European competitions, and it\u2019ll be a very demanding game,\u201d said the Italian tactician.<\/p>\n

Atletico Madrid will welcome Osasuna to the Metropolitano Stadium in the Spanish capital, with Los Rojillos looking for an upset away win to continue the excellence they have built throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must look to end the season strongly, we cannot lose our focus and intensity now, especially after the Copa del Rey final,\u201d said Osasuna defender David Garcia. \u201cOur challenge is to win as many of our final games as possible and be high up the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

This round of La Liga action also features the Seville Derby between Sevilla and Real Betis at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Los Nervionenses manager Jose Luis Mendilibar has done a great job in saving his team from the threat of relegation, and he\u2019ll earn even more respect from the red-and-white half of Seville if he can guide them to victory in this clash.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimplicity, I imagine,\u201d said Mendilibar in regard to his secret behind improving Sevilla\u2019s form. \u201cI don\u2019t know, I don\u2019t ask for strange things. For some, it will be a compliment and for others, if you speak in a way that no one understands you, that will be the compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n
