Next up for Real Madrid in their quest to win a third La Liga title in nine seasons is a meeting with Celta Vigo at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
Zinedine Zidane's men have won five league games in a row and are unbeaten in 14 since mid-October, seeing them open up a three-point lead on bitter rivals Barcelona.
Madrid's most recent win came away at Osasuna and, having crashed out of the Copa del Rey last week, they have seven days' rest before hosting Celta.
