Carlo Ancelotti’s men sit in second place, and they want the campaign to close with a strong performance. To achieve that, Los Blancos need a better result than Atletico Madrid, who are currently third, and Villarreal, their opponents on the final day. With the squad fully available for selection, Ancelotti plans to bid farewell to the season with a victory that would delight the home fans.

On the last day, the lineup is set to include Courtois, Carvajal, Militao, Nacho, Rudiger, Camavinga, Kroos, Ceballos, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Benzema.

Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Mariano Diaz are set to depart in this match, at least for now. Players such as Nacho and Ceballos could also be playing their final game in white.

Athletic, aiming for the Conference League

Ernesto Valverde’s Athletic Bilbao also looks to claim points at the Bernabéu. The team is focused on securing the seventh place that allows entry to the Conference League next season, a position currently held by Osasuna as the chase intensifies.
