Real Madrid return to LaLiga action today as Zinedine Zidane's men bid to hunt down leaders Barcelona.
Los Blancos trailed Barca by two points heading into the restart, but know they would win they title were they to finish level on points with their Clasico rivals by virture of a superior head-to-head record this season.
But to do that, Real realistically cannot afford any slip-ups - and their first test is a home tie against Eibar on Sunday evening.
Date, venue and kick-off time
Real Madrid vs Eibar will be held at Estadio Alfredo di Stefano on Sunday, June 14, with kick-off scheduled for 6:30pm BST.
The match is not being played at the Santiago Bernabeu due to renovation works preparing the stadium for the 2022/23 season.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar
Eibar sit 16th in the table, so on paper Real are heavy favourites. Still, the pressure will be on Los Blancos at a new ground and, with five substitutions allowed per game, Zidane will want to get things done early to prevent the game from becoming bogged down in changes later on.
