Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that 'It is an important moment in La Liga' for Los Blancos, which must keep winning to stay above their rivals.

In domestic play, Madrid have hit a promising run of form in the league, soaring to the top of the table thanks to a five-game unbeaten run. Last time out, Carlo Ancelotti's men defeated Las Palmas at home, going down early but scoring four unanswered goals to see off the Canary Islands side.

A thrilling title race beckons in La Liga, with Real Madrid returning to the division's summit after Atletico's slip-up at Leganes. While Barcelona are several points back, Hansi Flick's side have shown in their two Clasico victories this season that their apex is untouchable.
