Carvajal injured
Real Madrid vs FC Villarreal from 9pm LIVE
Real Madrid have drawn level with league leaders FC Barcelona on points in the Spanish soccer championship, at least until Sunday. The Whites won 2-0 at home to third-placed Villarreal on Saturday evening thanks to goals from Federico Valverde (14) and Vinicius Junior (73).
It was win number six in nine games in the league for the employers of ÖFB star David Alaba, who is not yet match fit following his knee injury. Real's joy, however, was dampened by the fact that defender Dani Carvajal was forced off shortly before the final whistle with a serious injury to his right knee and had to be carried off the pitch. Barcelona visit twelfth-placed Alaves on Sunday. Villarreal are four points behind them in third place.
Real suffered a 1-0 defeat at Lille in the Champions League on Wednesday, but the Whites continued their run of 41 consecutive games without defeat in La Liga. The last defeat in La Liga was over a year ago, since when they have won 30 and drawn eleven.
Barca record
Only one team has remained unbeaten for longer! FC Barcelona, of all teams, celebrated 34 wins and nine draws from 2017 to 2018 - meaning they went 43 games unbeaten.
