Real Madrid hosts Deportivo Alavés this Sunday in Vitoria for the 16th day of La Liga, as part of a new test for Xabi Alonso and his team after defeats against Celta and Manchester City. Doubts surround a project that does not have the possibility of ceding even more ground in the fight for leadership after Barcelona’s victory on Saturday against Osasuna. The Blaugranas are seven points ahead of the Whites despite the classic defeat at the Bernabéu. The Basque team also comes at the right time after last week’s victory against Real Sociedad.
