Real Madrid gets to this game in second place, having won 45 points in the 2018-19 campaign. Los Blancos had a slow start of the season, which forced Florentino Pérez to sack Julen Lopetegui. Fortunately for them, Santiago Solari has steered the team to the top spots,  leading the Spanish capital giants to 14 wins, three draws and six losses.
