Barca, Madrid to warm up for Champions semifinals

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona and Real Madrid both play at home on Saturday in the Spanish league looking to make their final adjustments while resting some weary legs for the Champions League semifinals set to start next week against a pair of German rivals.

Barcelona hosts a struggling Levante side with Lionel Messi doubtful to play as he tries to fully recover from a right hamstring pull in time for the Catalan club's trip to Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Madrid, meanwhile, welcomes Real Betis as it hones its attack led by Cristiano Ronaldo for Wednesday's game at Borussia Dortmund.

With Barcelona 13 points clear of Madrid and set to reclaim the domestic title, the focus for both teams has clearly shifted to reaching the European final in London on May 25.
