And I think a win, potentially even a draw, depending on the other results, could make sure that they finish top two, which is a huge advantage, as we've explained in previous shows.
If you finish first or second in this league phase, you're guaranteed to be at home in every other single knockout round now between now and the end of the season.
But they also have the last game next week because we're on to back-to-back Champions League week now against Carlton Matty at home.

Yeah, I mean, they are obviously very happy in the way that this is probably the best time to play this Real Madrid team, right?
We said before the game against Levante that it could not be worse than Albacete.
