With a 1-0 win over Mallorca which was the result of a stunning effort from Aurelien Tchouameni, Real Madrid further strengthened their position to lift the La Liga title.
The 1-0 win ensured that Real Madrid maintained their 8-point advantage over second-placed FC Barcelona.
"It was the kind of game we expected: complicated because Mallorca showed a lot of commitment, attitude and defended well. We weren't very good in the first half and played very slowly. The second half was much better. It's a very important victory, which brings us closer to winning the title. We're enjoying a good run and now we have to think about Wednesday, which we have enough time to recover for and we're going to give it our best shot," Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said after the 1-0 win.
Jude Bellingham would look to keep his high-lying form intact against Manchester City in the second leg of the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League.
