Real Madrid return to action in La Liga on Saturday against Leganes, but Zinedine Zidane's side will also be looking ahead to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich.
Los Blancos beat Bayern 2-1 in the sides' first match at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday and, with Barcelona set to clinch the Primera Division title, European glory is very much the focus for Real.
Madrid are currently third in La Liga, 15 points behind Barca, with five fixtures remaining. And, although they cannot catch the Catalans, they will want to finish above Atletico, who are four points ahead with one more match played, in second spot.
With rotations planned ahead of the Bayern game, Goal takes a look here at everything you need to know ahead Saturday's match against Leganes...
Real Madrid injuries
Isco and Dani Carvajal picked up injuries against Bayern on Wednesday and both players will be absent this weekend. The two will also miss the second-leg match at home to the German side on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Nacho is doubtful after his recent injury.
Real Madrid suspensions
Real Madrid have no players suspended for the game against Leganes.
Real Madrid potential starting line-up
Cristiano Ronaldo will be rested, so Gareth Bale is set to return to the starting line-up after he was left out of the team to play Bayern Munich on Wednesday, the Welshman failing to make it on for a single minute at the Allianz Arena.
Karim Benzema, who was used as a substitute in Germany, will also start, with Marco Asensio likely to feature from the outset after his match-winning performance from the bench in midweek.
In midfield, Marcos Llorente, Mateo Kovacic and Dani Ceballos could all come in to allow Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos a rest.
Raphael Varane is likely to be rested as well, with Jesus Vallejo set to start in his place, while Theo Hernandez will deputise for Marcelo and Achraf Hakimi should come in for the injured Carvajal.
