Lineups are in!
Real Madrid could take a huge step towards winning La Liga if they get a win out of this postponed fixture at Celta. If Zidane's team succeed, they will go three points ahead of Barcelona at the top of the table, with the final league match to be played on Sunday. Celta crashed out of the Europa League with their heads held high against Manchester United and have little, if not nothing, to play for here.
