An unmissable opportunity for Real Madrid. Opposed to Las Palmas (14th), the reigning champions will obviously start favorites this Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, facing a team stuck in the soft underbelly of the ranking, with only three points ahead of the first relegation.
Above all, the Madrilenians have an exceptional opportunity to seize first place in the Spanish championship. Currently second with one point behind the leader, Atlético Madrid beaten on Saturday in Leganés with a missed penalty at the end of the match by Antoine Griezmann (1-0), Carlo Ancelotti’s men will take the lead in the event of success, placing even the rival Barcelona with seven units.
A breath of fresh air that the Merengues cannot afford to miss, who have been going through a period of turbulence since the start of 2025. Threatened by Barça during the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Jeddah on January 12 last (5-2), Kylian Mbappé and his partners have certainly found their way to victory in the Copa del Rey against Cela Vigo (5-2 ap). A match however deceptive, since Real was pushed into overtime at the end of a delicate meeting in content.
-Contested by certain supporters and local media, Carlo Ancelotti will not be able to count on several elements to challenge Las Palmas: Vinicius Jr. and Luka Modric are suspended, while Eduardo Camavinga has joined the long-term injured, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, in the infirmary. Fortunately for the Italian technician, Kylian Mbappé has finally found his legs in recent weeks. The French international has scored four goals in his last seven matches in all competitions.
The La Liga matchday 20 match between Real Madrid and Las Palmas will take place this Sunday, January 19 from 4:15 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast live on BeIN Sports 2.
