Team news
Winning La Liga is now firmly in Real Madrid’s hands. After Barcelon’s slip-up in the last round, Los Blancos now sit two points ahead of their rivals with a game in hand.
Cristiano and Co. have not lifted the Spanish Primera Division crown since 2012. A win this weekend will boost their odds of ending the Blaugrana’s monopoly over the league in recent seasons.
Beating Athletic Bilbao will be difficult, but luckily for Zinedine Zidane, he will be welcoming back Gareth Bale to his squad. The Welshman missed their last two league games through suspension after his sending off against Las Palmas.
Real Madrid expect another huge fitness boost. Center-back Pepe, who missed the 2-1 win over Real Betis, could be set for a return on Saturday.
Ernesto Valverde should have a fully-fit side for their weekend clash, with Sabin the only exception. The Spanish forward picked up an injury late last month and could miss this tie.
