Real Madrid will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they welcome bitter rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.
Zinedine Zidane's side recorded a 1-0 victory over Sevilla in the league last weekend before beating Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League on Wednesday to ensure that they would be present in the last-16 stage of the competition.
Los Blancos are currently fourth in Spain's top flight, six points behind leaders Atletico, who also have a game in hand over their capital rivals.
