The last two games were not easy for Carlo Ancelotti's men, who had to suffer a very hard 2-5 loss to Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, and then go through some anxiety to eliminate Celta from the Copa del Rey, having to go to extra time.
The team needs to hit the table quickly before doubts start to arise more strongly. In front of them will be Las Palmas, the humble team that remains far from the relegation zone and that already knew how to beat Barcelona at the end of 2024.
The presence of Federico Valverde from the substitutes' bench in the last game against Celta suggests that the Uruguayan will be in the starting line-up this Sunday. El Halcón added one more goal to his spectacular collection of shots from outside the area, and will be a danger to consider for the island team.
In Las Palmas, the talented Alberto Moleiro is the man to watch for the Merengue team's destroyers of play. The young midfielder has captured the attention of the football world with his performances, and could make life difficult for Real Madrid if they let him play freely.
