The distance duel continues between Blaugranas and Merengues! Real Madrid travel to Elche this evening for the 13th day of La Liga, the day after Barcelona’s big victory against Bilbao to move to the top of the championship (4-0). With one game less but as many points as their Catalan rivals, the Madrilenians want to return to success after their defeat at Liverpool (0-1) and the draw at Rayo Vallecano (0-0).
To win this evening, Real can count on Mbappé, lined up next to Rodrygo in front of Bellingham. Vinicius starts on the bench. In the middle, Güler should be partnered by Ceballos, with Alexander-Arnold and Garcia on the wings. Asencio, Huijsen and Carreras will form the defense. Elche should present themselves in 4-4-2 with Mir and Andre Sila up front. Follow this match with our live commentary!
