Home   /   Villarreal – Real Madrid: AS IT HAPPENED

Preview

If Real Madrid loses a game, today is the day it is most likely to happen.

Los Blancos have more players injured than ever. Zidane has to plan a lineup without Sergio Ramos, Benzema, Casemiro, Militao, Jovic and Valverde. Players like Mariano or Odegaard have the chance to show Zidane what they are capable for

A win today in La Ceramica would mean climbing to the second spot on the table.

It is the perfect game for Villarreal to beat Real Madrid and keep their home run without losing a game.

However, Paco Alcacer who is the club top goalscorer will not be able to make it to the game due to an injury.

Carlos Acosta will join you during the broadcast of the match.
