Real Madrid go up against Celta Vigo this Saturday. Los Blancos are confident they'll get past their opponents and get another three points while waiting to see what happens in the Barca-Atletico game the following day.
Carlo Ancelotti has released his squad list ahead of the game, in which Alaba and Ferland Mendy are absent. However, much to Madrid fans' delight, stars Vinicius and Toni Kroos are back.
Two muscle injuries leave Austrian Alaba out of the list after he picked his up at Stamford Bridge in the Champions League, while Mendy's been absent since 19th March when he got his injury against Barcelona in the league edition of El Clasico.
Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti won't be able to use either until the 6th May at the earliest, when Real Madrid will be going up against Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final in Seville. Alaba and Mendy will miss the four Liga games to be played in two weeks.
After starting the Champions League second leg, Brazilian Vinicius and German Toni Kroos will make their return after not going to Cadiz due to muscle overloads.
