With one foot into the quarter-finals of the Champions League secured following their controversial win over Ajax on Wednesday, Real Madrid return to domestic matters when they host Girona in La Liga on Sunday.
Santiago Solari’s side sit nine points off league leaders Barcelona with 15 games left this season – and Los Blancos will still harbour hopes of breaking the Catalan club’s stronghold on the title.
They host a side they defeated in the last eight of the Copa del Rey in January by an aggregate scoreline of 7-3 – but they will need to prevail once more without Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric.
