Real Madrid will face Alaves in La Liga on Saturday, and here are three takeaways from their official 19-man squad.
After only getting a point out of their excellent performance against PSG in the Champions League due to a pair of late defensive breakdowns, Real Madrid will want to have a completely demolition of Alaves on La Liga’s Matchday 15.
Los Blancos have been on fire in league play recently, picking up where they left off after the November international break by defeating then-fourth-placed Real Sociedad 3-1.
Real are the heavy favorites against Alaves on Saturday, so nothing less than three points will be expected from Zinedine Zidane’s men. Since they defeated Eibar 4-0 before the break, too, they will be expected to produce another comfortable victory against a team that currently sits in 13th placed.

Embedded above is the official 19-man squad for Saturday’s game against Alaves, which will take place at 1:00 p.m. CET at the Mendizorroza in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
Here are three takeaways from the announce squad, which does not include stars Raphael Varane and Eden Hazard after they both picked up injuries against PSG. Varane should be healthy next week against Espanyol, while Hazard may be out for a little bit longer.
