The heat is on in La Liga as tabletoppers Real Madrid face Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu on Saturday.

Los Blancos captain Sergio Ramos has been instrumental this season, not just with solidity at the back, but also with crucial match-winning headers.

Meanwhile, Uruguayan Diego Godin too has been a pillar of strength for Atletico and will be looking to make a difference for Diego Simeone’s side.
