Real Madrid are heavy favorites on Saturday against Alaves, and here are five players who could have memorable individual performances on Matchday 15.
Although Real Madrid outplayed PSG at midweek in the Champions League, they failed to secure all three points at the Santiago Bernabeu after a pair of late defensive miscues that occurred in quick succession.

Here are five players on Real Madrid who should have fantastic individual displays against Alaves on Saturday afternoon at the Mendizorroza.
