Real Madrid, the reigning La Liga champions, will aim to extend their winning streak to 10 matches in Spain’s top flight when they face Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday evening.
Having secured the title in early May, Real Madrid is now focusing on the upcoming Champions League final, while Villarreal is still in contention for a seventh-place finish in the league standings.
Villarreal faced challenges during the first half of the 2023-24 season, but their improved form this year has put them in a position to potentially qualify for European competitions next season, a prospect that seemed unlikely for a significant period.
