Real Madrid return from the November international break with renewed vigor in their title charge as Los Blancos travel to face Elche in La Liga action on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso's side are top of the Spanish domestic table through the first 12 matches of the campaign, sitting on 31 points to give them a three-point cushion above second-place Barcelona.
Madrid had enjoyed a six-match winning streak across all competitions, before a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool and a scoreless draw with Rayo Vallecano in league play ushered them into the final international break of 2025 on a sour note.
They now visit 11th-placed Elche who are on a dismal run of form. They had begun the season on a seven-match unbeaten streak, but the start of October has seen them nosedive, now on five league matches without a win.
