La Liga bracket set for FIFA 20 competition

The future of the 2019-2020 La Liga season is in question due to the coronavirus outbreak, with play suspended indefinitely. While it will be some time before the on-field champion is determined, the virtual champion will be decided this weekend.

19 of the 20 teams in the league are taking part in a FIFA 20 tournament hosted by Spanish esports announcer Ibai Llanos on his Twitch channel. Each team will be represented by a player from the team.

Llanos conducted a formal draw to set up the bracket Thursday afternoon. Six of the bottom seven teams (RCD Mallorca is not taking part) are playing in a Friday play-in round. They then advance to a Round of 16 that will take place on Saturday. The quarterfinals will follow, also on Saturday. The semifinals and finals are both set for Sunday.

Here is the complete schedule for the coming weekend of action. The player representing the team is in parenthesis next to his team.
