Real Madrid will travel to Ipurua to face Eibar on Sunday night in La Liga.
Real Madrid have been on a four-game winning streak since their disastrous defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League starting in December. After Zinedine Zidane felt the heat, his team responded with kindness by playing their best football, showing the heart and quality needed to play for Real Blanca.
This Sunday, Real Madrid will face one of the best defensive teams in La Liga at the Ipurua stadium. Eibar are a small club, but they will represent a challenge for Los Blancos, facing a team that may be without Eden Hazard, who divided Eibar twice in the 2019-2020 season.
Let’s take a look at five key players in Los Blancos to watch.
LW Vinicius Junior
Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior has the potential to become one of Real Madrid’s best players in a few years, but there will be growing pains along the way. We saw those problems in recent weeks, as Vinicius wasn’t even a standout player in those massive victories over Atlético de Madrid and Borussia Monchengladbach.
But there have also been positive signs. Vinicius’ tireless attitude proved fruitful in the 1-0 victory at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuan. And this past Tuesday against Athletic Club, Vinicius played very well for Real Madrid, rewarding Zinedine Zidane’s faith in the young man.
Assuming Eden Hazard is not yet ready to start despite training with the team, Vinicius will be the starter against Eibar. His tireless work ethic and ability to catch lightning in the bottle in the area will make him an important player for Real Madrid, especially if Eibar are able to make this a tight affair at their stadium.
