Currently Real are a recovering side, with several players unavailable due to injury but they need to win at any cost to have any chance of winning the league.

Coach Comments:

Zidane: "We will fight until the end. We will leave everything on the pitch, down to our last drop of blood."

Other Comments:

Nacho: "The sensations are positive. The team wins and we keep pressing. There's one game left to try to win the League, in football you never know. Today was a game to win. Overall the team has been at a high level. In the first half we had fewer chances."

Squad Updates:

This will be the Fifty second game of the season and Real have been fairly inconsistent in the matches and the results show for themselves, they have had 30 wins, 12 Draws and 9 losses. In the last few games the performance has been poor especially in mid-field and with this recovering team it is not making the run any easier.

Villareal are a good attacking side and are good in counter attacks, so Real will need to be careful in all departments and be ready for their counters.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense pretty well but has not received the same from the team and with so many changes due to injury in defense it is getting tough.

Mendy, Ramos, Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez are out injured. Varane is also injured but might recover in time but is not expected to start, Nacho and Militao will start. So, Odriozola and Miguel should start on the wings. Miguel, Nacho, Militao and Odriozola will start. Marcelo, Varane, Mendy and Marvin should be available as substitutes.

Modric has looked a tad slow in the last few games but he has been exceptional. Kroos has been great and should be ready to start, only problem is the covid protocol! So, Modric and Valverde should start along with Casemiro. Isco and Blanco should be available on the bench.

The forwards have been poor all season, Hazard is back but should only start as a substitute and Vinicius should start on the left and Rodrygo will start on the right. And Benzema should start upfront. Mariano, Asensio and Hazard should start from the Bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more changes in the second half if the score is conducive especially taking into account the team's fatigue.

The probable substitutions will be:

Vinicius > Hazard

Modric > Isco

Casemiro > Blanco

Rodrygo > Asensio

Odriozola > Mariano

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

The most probable kit to be used for the game will be the home kit!!!

So the final starting 11 will be:
