Good evening and welcome to the MARCA in English LaLiga Santander live blog for Elche v Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s side know that they can start to solidify their place at the top of LaLiga Santander with another win.
They beat Barcelona 3-1 in El Clasico last weekend which has put them three points ahead of the Blaugrana at the top of the table, but the coach insisted in the press conference that these three points are worth the exact same.
The match in Elche represents a great chance for Real Madrid to maintain or build that gap as Elche sit bottom of the league having amassed just three points from three draws.
