Real Madrid wants to continue its chase of leading Barcelona and, against Celta Vigo, has only one goal: to win another victory. After three consecutive draws in La Liga, Xabi Alonso’s team returned to success thanks to a convincing performance against Athletic Bilbao. Now continuity is needed to keep the pressure on the Blaugrana, ahead by just one point.

On the opposite side comes a struggling Celta Vigo. Giraldez’s lineup has cashed in two defeats in the last five days, slipping toward the hot zone of the standings: third-last place is just four points away. An extraordinary performance will be needed at the Bernabéu to snatch a positive result.

The match will be staged at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, temple of world soccer and home of the Galácticos. An iconic facility, the scene of great finals, including the 1982 World Cup won by Italy.

Probable lineups

Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Carreras, Militao, Asencio, Valverde; Ceballos, Tchouameni; Bellingham, Guler, Vinicius; Mbappé.
Coach: Xabi Alonso.

Celta Vigo (5-2-2-1): Radu; Carreira, Alonso, Starfelt, Javi Rodriguez, Rueda; Moriba, Damián; Bryan, Iago Aspas; Iglesias.
Coach: Giraldez.
