    James Rodriguez has a chance to equalise but his effort from 20 yards is held by goalkeeper Ivan Cuellar. 

    A reminder that Real Madrid don't even have Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale (who is injured) or Karim Benzema on the bench.

    Mariano and Luka Modric are their main attacking options.

    As things stand, Real Madrid are four points above Barcelona - having played the same amount of games. Although Barcelona play Real Sociedad today.

    Sporting Gijon would close the gap on safety to four points, but with all 17th-placed Leganes having a game in hand.
