Now out of the Champions League running, a disappointed Real Madrid must pick up the pieces and press on with what little they have left in La Liga action, hoping to make up ground in the title race when they host Alaves on Tuesday.
Los Blancos crashed out of European competition in the quarterfinals at the hands of Bayern Munich, leaving their fading league title chase as the only outlet for a trophy this season.
They sit nine points behind leaders Barcelona with seven matches to play in the domestic campaign, leaving their chances of chasing their La Liga rivals slim, especially considering Barcelona were also bounced from the Champions League and thus can solely focus on wrapping up the league title.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
