Can Real Get Back to Form In League?

It has been a rough run as of late for the European Champions. Los Blancos are coming off a big win last weekend at Eibar 4-1, but prior to that win, a loss, a come from behind win, and a come from behind draw, have shown that the Real Madrid of 2017 won’t have such an easy time winning all their matches.

The win last weekend at Eibar showed a return of calm, confident football with good ball movement, good chances, and solid defense. It was a heavily rotated squad for Real in that win, much like we’ll see today.

Players like James and Isco will be crucial to dictating the attacking flow for Real Madrid as they try to get back to back wins in La Liga and extended their lead atop the table of Barcelona.
