Real Madrid-Alavés: penultimate game at the Bernabéu for the LaLiga champions
Our team will look to take three points in front of the home fans on matchday 36 (9:30pm CEST).
After celebrating their 36th title with the fans on Sunday, LaLiga champions Real Madrid return to action as they host Alavés at the Santiago Bernabéu tonight (9:30pm CEST). Following the win in Granada (0-4), our team will be hoping to treat the home support to another victory in what is the penultimate game at the ground this season.
There are just three games to go before the end of the league campaign and Ancelotti's boys will have all eyes on taking maximum points in the lead-up to the Champions League final. Madrid are unbeaten in their last 29 LaLiga games (23 wins and 6 draws) and this week brings two opportunities to extend that impressive record, with a trip to Villarreal coming up on Sunday.

“We have to make the most of these games to get into a good rhythm, our aim to head into the Champions League final in peak condition," underlined Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference ahead of the Alavés clash. The coach has named his squad, with a full complement available minus the injured Alaba and Tchouameni.
