On Tuesday, Real Madrid secured progression into this season’s Champions League last 8 thanks to their 4-0 aggregate win over Roma.
However, it’s back to La Liga for the Spanish Primera Diviision heavyweights, as they gear up for an away clash with Las Palmas in Matchday 29.
Zidane’s third-placed side will be hoping for a win, with Barca and Atltico winning their respective fixtures in this round, as Los Blancos aim to keep pace with the league’s first and second-placed teams.
Team news – who’s fit and who’s not?
Karim Benzema is the only injury concern for the Madrid giants heading into Sunday’s game, with the Frenchman unlikely to feature despite having made his return to training.

Gareth Bale is expected to start, as well as Pepe, despite the Portuguese center-back being one yellow card away from suspension.
Quique Setién will welcome Roque Mesa back into the starting eleven after seeing out his one-game ban, but the newly-promoted side will be without the injured Javi Castellano, Vicente Gómez, Hernán, and Mubarak Wakaso.
Head to head
The last time Real Madrid made the trip to Gran Canaria, the 10-time Champions League winners were handed a 4-2 defeat. It has been over 14 years since that defeat, yet Los Blancos return with a not-so-convincing away form.
Despite winning 4 of their last 5 meetings with their weekend opponents, the 3-1 win earlier this season being the most recent, Real Madrid have won only 6 of their 13 away games in 2015/16.
However, Las Palmas have conceded 18 times in their last 5 run-ins with Les Merengues, a confidence booster for the side led by 27-goal top-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
