The league leaders face the first of two successive away games in the competition tonight at the Ciudad de Valencia stadium (9.30 pm CEST).
The games in LaLiga are coming thick and fast and Real Madrid are in action again this evening on matchday six against Levante at the Estadi Ciutat de València (9.30 pm CEST). The league leaders will be aiming to pick up three more points and continue their winning run, having secured victory in all six official matches played so far, five in the league and one in the Champions League.
Xabi Alonso's side have a demanding schedule ahead of them, ending September with three consecutive away games, two of which are in La Liga this week. In addition to this evening's clash, there is next Saturday's Madrid derby at the Metropolitano (4.15 pm) and the long trip to Kazakhstan to face Kairat Almaty in the Champions League in exactly one week's time (6.45 pm). Ultimately, three difficult away games to build on this spectacular start to the season.
