Team news
After winning the FIFA Club World Cup, Real Madrid gets to this game with a three-game winning streak, which they hope will be enough to give them the upper hand against their bitter rivals. Luca Zidane is the only first-team absence for this match, but Cristiano Ronaldo set all the alarms on after missing two straight training sessions.
The current league leaders have walked away unscathed from all venues they've travelled to in the ongoing season. In order to walk away from the Bernabeu with points in their pocket, Ernesto Valverde's team will have to overcome the absences of Ousmane Dembelé, Gerard Deulofeu, Samuel Umtiti and Paco Alcácer. The last two footballers had been crucial prior to picking up their respective injuries.
