Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano
LaLiga 2018/19
Venue: Bernabeu
Real Madrid must recover from a morale-sapping Champions League shock against CSKA Moscow as they welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Spanish capital tonight.
The Champions League holders had already secured progress to the last-16 of the competition before Wednesday's final group game, but CSKA shocked Santiago Solari's side with a 3-0 win at the Bernabeu.
Isco was booed as fans reacted angrily to the home drubbing, but Solari's players must put that match to one side as they attempt to close the five-point gap on LaLiga leaders Barcelona before they head off for the Club World Cup next week.
Ben Hayward will be in attendance tonight, so stay tuned for all the latest news and build-up with Standard Sport's LIVE blog...
