Real Madrid will play seven games before the next international break in a hectic period for Kylian Mbappe and Co.

Los Blancos return to La Liga action this weekend as the defending champions head to Real Sociedad.

Carlo Ancelotti’s charges start their UEFA Champions League crown defence in midweek at home to VfB Stuttgart.

That is followed by four league games, including a derby at Atletico Madrid on September 29, and a Champions League trip to Lille, before the next schedule gap.

The club are working to manage game loads and physical exertions and Mbappe’s fitness is key for Ancelotti.

As per the latest from Diario AS, Mbappe is determined to feature in all seven games, as he looks to improve his mixed start to life in Madrid.

The current plan indicates he will start five of the incoming seven, and Ancelotti could rest him against Alaves and Espanyol, but he is expected to be on the bench in both fixtures.



Dani Carvajal claims Barcelona will drop La Liga title points soon


Real Madrid star Dani Carvajal has aimed a jibe at El Clasico rivals Barcelona as the La Liga season restarts this weekend.

Los Blancos headed into the international break unbeaten from their first four games of the 2024/25 campaign with eight points picked up.

However, the defending champions are already playing catch up to their old foes, who have won all four of their league outings under new boss Hansi Flick.

The schedule steps up in the coming weeks, with the start of the UEFA Champions League, and extra games on the agenda for both teams.

The demands of fighting across multiple fronts will be a test of resources across a demanding season and Carvajal believes Barcelona will slip soon.

“We’ve played four games, it’s a long distance race, and the schedule is getting tight now. The incoming matches are demanding and they will surely drop a point or two”, as per reports from Diario Sport.

Barcelona return to action with a derby trip to Girona on September 15, and they lost 4-2 home and away to their Catalan neighbours last season, with Real Madrid on the road at Real Sociedad the day before.
