The international break is giving some rest to some Real Madrid key players. Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema or Gareth Bale -although he just got injured- are training to be fit for the derby against Atlético Madrid. This will be the first tough game for Los Blancos in their challenge to shorten the eight points gap with FC Barcelona.
Los Blancos will play El Clásico against their rivals on the 23rd of December. The goal is arriving to that date with a lower gap and, in the meantime, get the qualification for the Copa del Rey and win the FIFA Club World Cup at Abu Dhabi. Now La Liga have made public the schedule of La Liga until the Christmas break. This is what Los Blancos have to face until then.
Atlético Madrid v Real Madrid
The first derby at Wanda Metropolitano. Real Madrid visit the brand new stadium of their neighbours for the very first time on Saturday 18th of November at 19:45, UK Time.
Real Madrid v Málaga
After the Champions League, Los Blancos play at home against the bottom team of La Liga. Málaga is struggling this season and should be an easy rival. It will be the 25th of November at 15:15, UK Time.
Athletic Club v Real Madrid
Another tough game for Los Blancos. Last year they were able to win at San Mamés but it’s always a difficult venue. The game is on Saturday, the 2nd of December, at 19:45.
Real Madrid v Sevilla
Another challenging game against one of the best teams of the championship. Sevilla visit Bernabéu stadium on Saturday 9th of December at 15:15, UK Time.
Real Madrid v Barcelona
Real Madrid trip to Leganés to play another derby is postponed because Los Blancos have to play the FIFA Club World Cup. Their next game will be El Clásico on Saturday 23rd of December at 12:00.
Will Real Madrid be able to shorten the gap before the end of the year?
