After a two-week international break, Real Madrid are back at the Santiago Bernabéu to take on 18th-place Leganés.
As the La Liga season winds down, the fight for the Spanish crown is becoming closer and closer each week. Real Madrid went into the international break level with Barcelona atop the standings, but the Catalans won their game in hand against Osasuna, putting Hansi Flick's men back in sole possession of first place.
To keep the pressure on their bitter rivals, Real Madrid must collect three points against Leganés. The two sides met in the Copa del Rey just last month, and it took a stoppage time winner from Gonzalo García for Los Blancos to bag a 2–3 victory and advance to the semifinals.
Unlike that match, though, Carlo Ancelotti will have most of his strongest players available from the opening whistle. Real Madrid will only be without the injured Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos, Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão. Thibaut Courtois, meanwhile, is expected to sit out of the clash due to overload.
Here's what Real Madrid's XI could look like against Leganés on Mar. 29.
