Real Madrid face Celta Vigo on Saturday night (22:45) and still have faint hopes of chasing down city rivals Atletico Madrid to second place in La Liga.

The Whites’ mid-week defeat at Sevilla took things out of their hands, ensuring Diego Simeone’s men have a three-point advantage with just two matches to play in the Spanish top-flight.

Atleti face a trip to local rivals Getafe (20:30) on Saturday.

Meanwhile, having been left out against Sevilla, Gareth Bale is set to return to the starting XI for Zinedine Zidane’s men alongside Karim Benzema in attack but this match comes too early for Cristiano Ronaldo – who is now back in training.

Dani Carvajal remains injured for this one.

With two weeks until the Champions League final, check out the squad the hosts have opted for as they contest their penultimate league match of the campaign.
