Coach Marcelino Garcia Toral: Real Madrid entertains Villarreal in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday looking to return to the top of LaLiga.

The fact Girona doesn't play until Monday night gives Carlo Ancelotti's men the chance to go one point clear of the current league leaders, although they may have to be patient against a rival who will be well-organized in Madrid, reports Xinhua.

Villarreal bounced back from its 3-0 defeat to Real Sociedad, with a 3-2 win away over Rennes in the Europa League on Thursday to assure it goes into the knockout stage of the competition as group winners.
