The international break is officially over and club football is back in our lives with the start of the new Champions League season just around the corner. But for one of La Liga’s biggest teams, the only thing that matters is this Saturday when they must figure out a way to pick up three points again and stay somewhat close to their city rivals in the early stages of the title race in Spain.
Real Madrid vs. Levante
- Date: Saturday, September 14

Real Madrid started the season with a great win and plenty of promise against Celta Vigo, but all that optimism went away after two consecutive draws against Valladolid and Villarreal. Zinedine Zidane and his men are once again under pressure and with Atlético Madrid winning their opening three games, there is already a four-point gap between the two title favorites. Real has no choice but to win at home and give their fans a reason to smile before it heads to Paris to face PSG in the Champions League.
The injury problems are slowly going away and there is a very good chance that Eden Hazard will make his debut as a Blanco at the Santiago Bernabéu. If Hazard is able to hit the ground running and show why he’s the club’s biggest hope for success this season, Madrid will have a strong chance against a Levante team that is ahead of Real in the standings. They have a very solid defense that can sustain pressure from the very best teams and hurt them on the counter. Madrid won’t have it easy, and this is already a must-win for Spain’s biggest team.
