Following the international break, Real Madrid faces a demanding upcoming schedule of fixtures against Villarreal, Roma, Sevilla, Leipzig, and Barcelona. This stretch follows a period marked by controversy surrounding a derby and a dispute that led Real Madrid to call for the departure of LaLiga president Javier Tebas.
Simultaneously, manager Jose Mourinho continues efforts to stabilize the team's midfield after eight official matches.
