Real Madrid need to carry on winning to keep up the pressure on Barcelona in La Liga, although time is more than likely running out for Los Blancos.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team will hope to build on victory over Almeria last time out when they face Real Sociedad on the road this week. All they can do is focus on their own results but it will take a Barcelona capitulation to stop the title heading to Camp Nou.
Real Sociedad will be no easy task as they remain on course to finish in the top four and return to the Champions League for the first time in 10 seasons.
