This special option will provide the viewers of the Indian subcontinent to toggle/switch between four independent signals/feeds.

To ensure that the viewers do not miss out any of footballing action, fans can choose from the four different feed options -- Multifootball, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.

Multifootball, as the names suggests, will showcase best action and goals from across the five concurrent clashes.

Barcelona feed will provide fans the clubs game and also have the studio show. The signal dedicated to Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will provide the audience to witness the clashes of the two clubs exclusively.

The unique feature was tried out during the penultimate week (Match Day 37) which also had simultaneous kick-offs.

The final days fixtures (Match Day 38) will start at 9.30pm IST and for the Indian audience, all the action is available on the La Liga Facebook page.
