This afternoon, Real Madrid face a new challenge in the fight against Barcelona and Atlético for the LaLiga leadership. Ancelotti’s men are the last to enter the fray on matchday 25, doing so against Girona at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium (4:15pm).
It will be Real Madrid's second successive match at their stadium after Wednesday's victory over Manchester City which ensured qualification for the Champions League round of 16. The objective today is clear: to get the sixteenth LaLiga victory and maintain their grip on the championship.

“LaLiga is very competitive and every match can be vital,” said Ancelotti at the press conference ahead of this match. The Italian coach will not be able to count on Bellingham amongst the squad he has called-up due to suspension, but Mbappé will be there. The French striker has scored in his last four appearances for our team and last Wednesday scored his second hat-trick in a Madrid shirt against Manchester City.

The Catalan team started the day in eleventh position. Míchel's team, who have played in the Champions League this season, will try to get back to winning ways in La Liga after two consecutive defeats. In the reverse fixture, Real Madrid won 0-3 at Montilivi.
