La Liga updates, 8pm GMT kick-off at the BernabéuLive scoreboard | And you can send Dom an email Real Madrid might have their fair share of defensive injuries – Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal remain out while David Alaba is still working his way back – but that’s a heck of a squad in terms of depth elsewhere.
