It's a big game for:

Iago Aspas. The 29-year-old Spaniard is currently on the 3rd position on the list of the highest goalscorers this season with 11 goals and 3 assists. He can be vulnerable to the Real defence.


Best stat:

14. Real Madrid has won 14 matches out of the 19 matches between these two teams and will look to win the 15th also.


Remember when:

Santiago Bernabeu witnessed a dominating performance by the home team beating Celta de Vigo 4-0. Ronaldo scored 3 goals and Sami Khedira scored 1.


Player to watch:

Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican is under fire after Real Madrid's 2-1 loss to Sevilla which also broke their unbeaten streak and he would like to prove his critics wrong by not conceding any goal in this tie.
