Alavés vs Real Madrid: how and where to watch - times, TV, online

With Sergio Ramos and Zinedine Zidane now consigned to the club’s history books, Real Madrid begin a new chapter under Carlo Ancelotti, whose first test will be Alavés away on Saturday in the opening weekend of LaLiga.

Ancelotti will hope his second tenure at the Bernabéu will last longer than his first (2013-15), and a win against Alaves would be a first step in the right direction for the Italian coach, who has a number of injury concerns.

The injured quartet of Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos , Dani Carvajal and Toni Kroos will miss the trip to the Basque country.

New signing David Alaba, Madrid’s only acquisition this summer, is set to make his LaLiga debut at the back, where Los Blancos are very short on numbers.

Having returned to the Spanish capital after a season-long loan spell at Spurs, Gareth Bale is in the squad list and could make his first appearance for Madrid since June 2020.

Madrid won this fixture at the Mendizorroza last time out back in January, securing a 4-1 win thanks to goals from Casemiro, Benzema (brace) and Eden Hazard, who, after two disappointing seasons at the Bernabéu, will be hoping to show signs of a return to his former Chelsea self should Ancelotti start him on Saturday.
