Real Madrid will travel to face Eibar on Saturday and have officially announced their 19-man squad for the game.
Los Blancos are undeniably riding a high after thrashing Galatasaray 6-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, but Zinedine Zidane will be careful not to suffer a letdown performance in La Liga this weekend. After all, Real Madrid failed to score a goal last week, dropping points to Real Betis just days after demolishing Leganes 5-0.
The official squad for Saturday’s game against Eibar has been announced, and Zidane has selected a strong lineup of 19 men who should build on Wednesday’s dream of a performance against Galatasaray.
You can check out the official lineup below, courtesy of Real Madrid’s official Twitter account.

Madrid are fully expected to grab all three points from this game, as Eibar are usually among the worst teams in La Liga. They currently sit in 14th place, but that’s also one spot ahead of Betis, whom Real drew in last week’s league encounter.
So Los Blancos cannot take their foot off the gas for one second, especially as they are in a massive battle for first place in La Liga with traditional title rivals FC Barcelona. La Blaugrana are ahead on a +3 goal differential difference, so Real Madrid will have no margin for error against Eibar.
Here are four takeaways from the official squad for Matchday 13.
