Real Madrid have had their issues this season, but a solid start to their domestic campaign has seen them win seven, draw three and lose one of their 11 matches to collect 24 points, which has left them in second spot in the table, one point behind leaders Real Sociedad, who have played one game more.

Carlo Ancelotti's side will believe that they are title favourites this term, and they picked up a hugely important three points away to Elche last weekend, with in-form Vinicius Junior scoring twice in the absence of Karim Benzema, who missed the contest due to a minor foot problem.

Benzema was back in the side against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Wednesday, though, and the Frenchman scored twice in a 2-1 victory, which moved the Whites to the top of Group D on nine points.

皇马本赛季的问题,而是一个固体开始国内竞选看到他们赢得七,画三个和失去他们的11场比赛收集24分,这使得他们在表中的第二位,落后领头羊皇家社会,人多踢一场比赛。

安切洛蒂的球队相信他们是本赛季夺冠的热门球队，他们在上周末对阵埃尔切的比赛中获得了非常重要的三分，状态良好的维尼休斯青年队在本泽马缺席的情况下攻入两球，本泽马因为脚伤错过了比赛。

不过，本泽马在周三的欧冠对阵顿涅茨克矿工队的比赛中复出，法国人梅开二度，帮助白衣军团以2-1获胜，并以9分的优势位居D组榜首。
