Real Madrid-Villarreal GAMETHREAD

Barcelona are winning big, Atleti just took the lead at San Mames as I post this, so Madrid must win today. Let's see if a certain yellow-clad "village club" can do something about that!

Madrid lineup: Keylor; Danilo, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Kroos, Casemiro, Modric; Lucas Vazquez, Benzema, Ronaldo.

About the strongest XI they could put out there.

Villarreal is going with: Asenjo; Mario, Bonera, Bailly, Ruka; Dos Santos, Bruno, Trigueros, Denis; Adrián, Bakambu.

So resting Ruiz (a fitness doubt) and Mario Gaspar, who had a subpar match against Rayo, is not starting either.   Marcelino released this lineup very late (30 minutes after Madrid's) so I wonder if there were last minute concerns.
