Match Preview
Real Madrid return to play against Eibar at the Di Stefano on Saturday. This is the club’s first match in two weeks due to the international break and the last league match before Real face Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Real are on a two-match win streak and haven’t lost since the end of January. They are third in LaLiga being two points behind Barcelona and six points behind Atletico. The league title race is the tightest it’s been all season.
Eibar is having the complete opposite of a season. They are tied on points for last in the league and are in the relegation zone. They are only two points from escaping relegation, but they’re not currently in good company.

Breaching the defence of Diego Simeone s Atletico Madrid has become one of the toughest tasks in European football in recent years.
The Argentine tactician is renowned for instilling discipline and an intense work ethic into his teams, and it s fair to say his hard work gleans results. Prior to their clash with struggling Eibar on Thursday, Atleti had conceded just
six goals in their 16 La Liga outings this season.
Only one side in the Spanish top flight had scored fewer than Eibar s 15 prior to the clash, so you d be forgiven for assuming the league leaders would keep a clean sheet when they travelled to the Ipurua Municipal Stadium.but Eibar s goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic had other ideas.
