Fresh off a thrilling victory over Manchester City, Real Madrid is back in La Liga action at the Estadio Bernabeu, Madrid against a struggling Elche side on Saturday evening.
At this time last weekend, Los Blancos were seconds away from dropping points in their third consecutive La Liga match, looking incapable of challenging Barcelona for the Spanish crown or the Citizens in the Champions League round of 16. Then, Fede Valverde happened.
The Uruguayan buried a stoppage time winner to snatch all three points from Celta Vigo last Friday and then bagged a brilliant hat trick against Man City five days later to suddenly revive Real Madrid’s season.
Still, the 15-time European champions remain four points off the league-leaders, leaving no room for anymore slip ups, especially against an Elche side that sits just above the drop zone. Eder Sarabia’s men already held the Spanish giants to a 2–2 draw in the reverse fixture, a result they will hope to replicate under the lights at the Bernabéu.
