The month of November is set to test Real Madrid‘s resolve as they embark on a demanding schedule filled with crucial away matches. After a relatively calm October, where most of their fixtures were held within the Madrid region, Xabi Alonso‘s squad now faces the prospect of traveling extensively to maintain their position at the top of La Liga.
This month presents six matches, with only one being played at the iconic Santiago Bernabéu. The first challenge comes this Saturday against Valencia, marking the last home game for Real Madrid until December 7, when they host Celta Vigo. Until then, the team will be on the move, starting with a high-stakes clash against Liverpool at Anfield on November 4 in the UEFA Champions League. Following that, they will make a short trip to Vallecas on November 9 to take on Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
International Break and NFL Showdown
After the match against Rayo, an international break will interrupt their rhythm. However, while the players are away, the Bernabéu will host an unprecedented event: an NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders on November 16. This unique occasion highlights the stadium’s versatility but leaves Madrid with limited time to prepare for their subsequent fixtures.
A Grueling Finish to November
Upon returning from the international break, Real Madrid will resume their travels with a match against Elche on November 23. Just four days later, they will head to Greece to face Olympiakos in another critical Champions League encounter. The month concludes with a challenging match against Girona at Montilivi on November 30. Historically, this fixture has proven difficult for Los Merengues, making it imperative for them to secure points as they navigate this taxing schedule.
With such an intense lineup ahead, fans are eager to see if Real Madrid can maintain their momentum and solidify their lead in La Liga. Will Xabi Alonso’s tactical acumen shine through during this demanding stretch? Only time will tell as they gear up for what promises to be a pivotal month.
