Granada-Real Madrid: the league champions look to round off a perfect week
Ancelotti's side visit the Nuevo Los Cármenes three days after reaching the Champions League final (6:30pm CEST).
A magical week for Real Madrid, who, after winning LaLiga last Saturday and reaching the Champions League final, visit Granada this evening on matchday 35 (6:30pm CEST). Ancelotti's men go in search of their 28th league win at the Nuevo Los Cármenes and want to close out seven days in style for all madridistas.
There are 23 days to go until the final at Wembley, but now it's time to focus on the next four LaLiga games. A full house of wins is key to getting the best out of the game against Borussia Dortmund in London. The first hurdle will be in Granada, where our team will be looking to secure their eighth consecutive LaLiga victory and extend their magnificent offensive and defensive records.

‘We have to respect our opponents, the competition and ourselves,’ said Ancelotti at the pre-match press conference. The Italian has everyone available, except for the injured Tchouameni and Alaba. In the squad is the hero of the Champions League semi-final second leg: Joselu. The striker scored a late brace in a legendary comeback against Bayern Munich. He is joined by Bellingham, Madrid's top scorer in LaLiga with 18 goals, and Vini Jr. (13).

The Andalusians are in the drop zone and struggling to stay up. They have a record of four wins, nine draws and 21 defeats, and a win for them would be key to staying in the fight for another season in the top flight of Spanish football. Their offensive reference is Uzuni, scorer of 11 goals.
