Real Madrid Seeks Redemption After Shock Defeat, Faces Tough Villarreal Test
4 Oct
Summary
- Real Madrid suffered a 2-5 defeat to Atletico Madrid in their previous La Liga match
- Villarreal are currently third in the league and have won their last three games
- Eder Militao's return is a boost for Real Madrid, but they still have several key absences
On October 4th, 2025, Real Madrid will be looking to redeem themselves as they take on Villarreal in a crucial La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Merengues suffered a shock 2-5 defeat to their city rivals Atletico Madrid in their previous league encounter last week, and they will be determined to produce a strong reaction.
However, the task will not be easy for Xabi Alonso's side, as they face a Villarreal team that is currently third in the league table and has won each of their last three matches. The Yellow Submarine have the joint-best defensive record in La Liga, having conceded only five goals so far this season, and they will pose a stern test for the hosts.
Real Madrid will be boosted by the return of Eder Militao, who has recovered from the knock he suffered in the derby defeat. However, they will still be without several key players, including Dani Carvajal, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rudiger.
With the international break looming, both teams will be eager to enter the break on a high note, making this an intriguing encounter at the Bernabeu.
