    FT: Alaves 1-4 RM!! All over in Vitoria and it was no contest, to be honest. After five good Alaves minutes, RM picked up and Casemiro made it 0-1. Benzema and Hazard struck just before half-time and despite Joselu scoring for the Basques in the second half, Benzema ended any hopes of a comeback. RM were brilliant after the shocking performance at Alcoyano while Alaves were outplayed on their 100th anniversary.

  • PRVW
    Nine degrees in Vitoria and it's pouring down with rain.
  • PRVW
    A reminder that David Bettoni, Zidane's assistant, will take charge of RM tonight as Zidane has coronavirus.
  • PRVW
    RM were beaten 1-2 by Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup SF the last time they fielded a full strength side. Militao in for the injured Ramos is the only change from that team.
  • PRVW
    Militao, Casemiro and Lucas Vazquez are the only ones who started against Alcoyano.
  • PRVW
    Alaves are unchanged from the loss to Sevilla.
  • PRVW
    Alaves lost 1-2 to Sevilla last time out while RM were embarrassingly knocked out of the Copa del Rey by third tier side Alcoyano. They were beaten 2-1 despite playing against ten men. Zidane played a weakened team, but not enough some of the starters could save the situation later on.
  • PRVW
    Alejandro Hernandez Hernandez is the referee for this one while Santiago Jaime Latre is the VAR.
  • PRVW
    17th v 2nd. 18pts v 37pts.
  • PRVW
    It's a special night for the home side as the club was formed exactly 100 years ago today! They also beat RM 1-2 in a controversial match earlier in the season so the Basques could do the double over 'Los Blancos' this season.
