The La Liga fixture list has fallen kindly for Real Madrid with Wednesday's home game against Athletic Bilbao serving as a warm-up for next week's Champions League semi final against Bayern Munich.
Los Blancos have no weekend league game as they were due to face Copa del Rey finalists Sevilla, which means they have six days between the visit of Athletic and their European clash at the Allianz Arena.

Team news
The Basques have no injury concerns ahead of their trip to the Spanish capital.
Real Madrid remain without centre-back Nacho Fernandez but otherwise Zidane has a fully fit squad.
Athletic's poor run to continue
It has been a season to forget for midtable Athletic Bilbao, who will want this season to be over after recording just nine league wins so far.
Their run of 12 consecutive defeats at the Bernabeu is unlikely to come to an end against a Real Madrid side that seems to be hitting its stride in the final part of the season.
Los Blancos have won nine of their last 11 league games and are likely to field a strong team to continue momentum ahead of next week's Champions League semi-final.
Predictions
The European champions have been in strong scoring form at home, netting 26 goals in their last six home league matches.
They should be able to record another victory against a poor Athletic side, with Real Madrid to win and over 3.5 goals appealing at 19/20 (1.95).
This bet has paid out in eight of the last nine meetings between the sides at the Bernabeu, as well as proving profitable in five of Real Madrid's last seven games in all competitions.
