Competition returns for Real Madrid, but it will not be as always. The Whites will play their first game after the break forced by the pandemic of the COVID-19 like locals, but the scenario will be different. The club chose to accelerate the works of the Bernabéu by playing the remainder of the league without an audience so the Di Stéfano stadium, in the sports city of Valdebebas, will be your new home.
Zidane's team arrives at the meeting second in the ranking and he must win if he does not want Barça to walk away in his title fight after his victory yesterday against Mallorca. The French coach will be able to count on troops with whom, had the competition elapsed at the scheduled times, he could not have done so. It is the case of Hazard and Asensio, both long-term injured, who have already recovered. Those who will not be will be Jovic, Mariano, Nacho and Lucas Vázquez, all injured after the break.
AS to follow: Benzema. The Frenchman is the only pure striker with healthy Zidane. He has 14 goals in this league and must take his best version to bring the Whites closer to the lead.
