Real Madrid will begin the process of putting their nightmare UEFA Champions League exit behind them on Sunday, as they travel to Real Valladolid in La Liga.
Following back-to-back losses to Barcelona in two separate competitions and the emphatic end of their European dominance at the hands of Ajax on Tuesday, Los Blancos are now almost certain to end the 2018-19 season without silverware. They sit third in the table ahead of the weekend fixtures, 12 points off leaders Barcelona.
Their opponents will be seeking to capitalise on what has been a rotten run for Madrid. Valladolid are still big underdogs for this encounter and any point would be valuable given they're just three points above the relegation zone.
