The schedule allows no respite for Real Madrid, who gear up for LaLiga matchday sixteen tonight at Montilivi (9:00pm CET), live on Holasports. Their goal will be to secure their eleventh league win against Girona, in what will be their second successive away game.

Ancelotti‘s men continue a demanding December and tonight they play the third of seven games across three competitions. On Tuesday they return to Champions League action in Bergamo against Atalanta and four days later they will play their fourth consecutive away game in Vallecas. On the 18th there will be another chance to add another title to the club's trophy cabinet: the Intercontinental Cup, which will be played at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. Madrid will wrap up 2024 at the Bernabéu against Sevilla on the 22nd.

"It's a complicated game, but we have to take it as an opportunity to get back to winning ways," said Carlo Ancelotti at the press conference ahead of the visit to Girona. The Italian coach has called up 21 players, including Bellingham. The English midfielder will be looking to continue his goalscoring run, hoping to pick up his fifth consecutive league goal against Girona, to add to the ones he has scored against Osasuna, Leganés, Getafe, and Athletic Club.
