Real Madrid will host Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga, seeking to recover from two recent defeats, including a loss to RCD Mallorca and Bayern Munich. The team, currently seven points behind league leaders Barcelona, faces a must-win scenario to keep their title hopes alive. Manager Alvaro Arbeloa is expected to make key changes, notably the return of Eder Militao to the defense, replacing Antonio Rudiger. Jude Bellingham, who has recently returned from injury, will also start, likely positioned on the left flank of a four-man midfield alongside Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. Up front, the star duo of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. will spearhead the attack, with options like Brahim Diaz available from the bench. With the pressure mounting, every match is pivotal for Real Madrid as they aim to reclaim their winning form.
