Game Preview
On Saturday evening, Real Madrid will host Villarreal at the Bernabeu, in what is arguably the best La Liga encounter of the coming week. Villarreal are currently in sixth place, four points behind Real Sociedad in fourth place, while Los Blancos are currently second in the table, 11 points behind leaders Barcelona.
Unless something spectacular happens in the next weeks, Real Madrid will not regain the La Liga title this season, with Barcelona lying 11 points clear at the top of the table, meaning that the Catalan club would have to suffer a major collapse to reopen the race. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is vying for trophies in two competitions this season, including the Champions League, where they will face Chelsea in the quarter-finals.
Meanwhile, Los Blancos will approach this encounter on the heels of a spectacular 4-0 victory over Barcelona in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final at Camp Nou on Wednesday. Real Madrid trailed 1-0 going into the second leg, but a spectacular win propelled them to the final, where they will face Osasuna for the trophy.

Meanwhile, Villarreal will enter this match on the heels of a morale-boosting 2-0 home victory against Real Sociedad last weekend. Quique Setien’s team took the lead in the 77th minute thanks to Dani Parejo’s penalty, which Nicolas Jackson converted four minutes later, securing a crucial three points in their top-four battle.
The Yellow Submarine sit sixth in the rankings, one point behind fifth-placed Real Betis and four points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad, all of whom are vying for a place in the Champions League. Villarreal have not finished fourth in Spain’s top division since 2016, and they have ended seventh in the last two seasons, so a fourth-place result this season would be a significant improvement.
