All eyes on victory over Elche
Real Madrid are unbeaten at the Bernabéu, the venue for the matchday 21 clash (9:00pm CET).
Having been crowned world champions in Rabat on Saturday, Real Madrid now return to LaLiga action as they welcome Elche to the Santiago Bernabéu for the postponed matchday 21 clash 9:00pm CET.
Ancelotti's team will be looking to capitalise on the positivity of an eighth world championship title by picking up another three points in LaLiga. The home crowd will undoubtedly be a big help in that regard, reflected in the fact our team remain unbeaten in the 13 competitive games at the Santiago Bernabéu so far this campaign: 10 wins and 3 draws.

“We're going to fight for every game”, underlined Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. The Italian has named these players in his squad for the meeting but will be without Club World Cup Golden Ball winner Vini Jr. due to suspension. Valverde will be available, however, as he looks to continue the fine form that has seen him net three in the last two games in Rabat.
The opposition
Elche come to our ground off the back of a fantastic 3-1 win over Villarreal at home and will hope to continue that dynamic. Pablo Machín's team currently sit at the foot of the table with nine points and in the first-round fixture, our boys ran out 0-3 winners thanks to goals for Valverde, Benzema and Asensio.
