Real Madrid will attempt to prevent their campaign from limping to a sorry conclusion when they host Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Zinedine Zidane’s side are almost certain to finish a disappointing third in the standings , with just one win in their last four matches, including an embarrassing 1-0 loss to Rayo Vallecano last time out.
They play a Villarreal side that has struggled for much of the campaign but found an extra gear to push away from the relegation zone over the last month, with three wins and a draw coming from their last four outings.
