Hello and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through Real Madrid vs Villarreal, which promises to be a marquee La Liga clash, steeped in intrigue and drama. At the Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid will lean on home advantage and their potent attacking arsenal to maintain momentum in the title race. Villarreal, often underestimated, bring a disciplined structure and tactical smarts under Marcelino, making them dangerous on the break. Recent history favors Madrid: in their last six head-to-head games, Madrid have claimed four wins, one draw and one defeat. At home, Los Blancos are formidable, unbeaten in the vast majority of their recent home league fixtures. Meanwhile, Villarreal's defensive frailties have cost them, even as their attacking output keeps them in contention. Team news could tilt the balance. Madrid must navigate absences in defence and midfield, while Villarreal must keep cohesion in the backline and find ways to stifle Madrid's firepower. Expect a high intensity contest, with Madrid likely holding the edge, but Villarreal capable of causing surprises if Madrid slip. Update narration What time is Real Madrid vs Villarreal?
