However, coach Carlo Ancelotti can spare some starters. That’s because the Spaniards start the Champions quarter-final dispute against Chelsea-ING next week.
Villarreal, on the other hand, is on the rise in the competition. Visitors are in a positive streak and still dream of the G-4. With 44 points, Villarreal could be glued to the Champions League if they beat Real Madrid.
Barcelona only takes the field on Monday. The leader of La Liga tries to erase the elimination in the Copa del Rey, against Girona, at the Camp Nou.
