Real Madrid will face Eibar on Saturday evening, and here are five key players to watch in Los Blancos’ final game before the November international break.

After demolishing Galatasaray on Wednesday to build some breathing room in their Champions League group, Real Madrid will want to keep their momentum going on Saturday afternoon when they travel to the Basque region to take on 14th-placed Eibar.

Last week, Real defeated Leganes 5-0 on Wednesday, only to drop points in a 0-0 stalemate at home against Real Betis. Zinedine Zidane’s side could have ascended to the top of the league table with a win, but the tie forced them into second on goal differential behind arch rivals FC Barcelona.

Eibar are about the same level of quality as Betis, so Real will want to keep their foot on the gas for this road trip. While Los Blancos are undoubtedly the favorites to come away with all three points, they’ll need their star players to shine just as brightly as they did at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday against Galatasaray.

Here are five players to watch closely on Saturday against Eibar, as these are the men who could make all the difference for Real Madrid on Matchday 13.
