Real Madrid face a tough test to close the gap at the top of La Liga once again, as they travel to Celta Vigo on Sunday night trailing leaders Barcelona by five points.
Celta have been in good form of late and are in ninth place after just one loss in their last five and two back-to-back wins most recently, including a 6-1 win over Rayo Vallecano.
Real reached the semifinals of the Champions League in midweek and have had less preparation time for this game, but they can ill afford to drop any points as they attempt to overhaul Barcelona at the top of the table.
