Real Madrid will host Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu in a LaLiga clash on matchday 28. The stadium will be the stage for two teams chasing different aims: the home side pushing toward the summit of the table, while the visitors seek solid footing in European positions.
Madrid comes into the fixture after a emphatic 6-0 victory over Valladolid on the previous matchday, with Karim Benzema delivering a hat-trick and goals from Rodrygo, Marco Asensio, and Lucas Vázquez sealing the win. Under Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid sits confidently near the top of the standings with 59 points, displaying form and depth across the squad.
Villarreal, meanwhile, secured a 2-0 triumph against Real Sociedad in their most recent league outing, with Dani Parejo and Nicolas Jackson providing the decisive goals. The win keeps Quique Setién’s side in the upper half of the table, currently sixteenth or higher depending on the precise round and result density, with 44 points to date and ambitious plans for the remainder of the campaign.
