Real Madrid is set to face Real Betis tonight, Friday, April 24, 2026, at the Estadio de La Cartuja. This Matchday 32 fixture kicks off at 9:00 PM CEST and is a critical hurdle for Álvaro Arbeloa’s side as they attempt to chase down league leaders Barcelona. After a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Alavés earlier this week, Los Blancos enter this match with high stakes, knowing that any dropped points could effectively end their title hopes.
The expected starting XI for Madrid should see Andriy Lunin continue in goal. The defensive line is likely to feature Dani Carvajal and Fran García on the flanks, with Antonio Rüdiger and the young Dean Huijsen pairing up in the center. In midfield, the trio of Federico Valverde, Jude Bellingham, and Eduardo Camavinga is anticipated to provide support for a potent attack led by Vinícius Júnior and Kylian Mbappé, the latter of whom leads the Pichichi race with 24 goals.
However, the squad is currently reeling from a "double injury blow" confirmed just yesterday. Both Éder Militão and Arda Güler have been ruled out for the remainder of the season after suffering grade two hamstring tears. They join a crowded treatment room that includes long-term absentees Thibaut Courtois (thigh) and Rodrygo (knee). On a more positive note, defender Raúl Asencio has made a "miracle" return to the squad list after a quick recovery from a bacterial illness, providing much-needed depth to the backline.
Tonight’s clash marks the start of a demanding three-game road stretch for the club. Following the Seville trip, Real Madrid will travel to face RCD Espanyol on Sunday, May 3. All focus, however, is shifting toward the season’s most anticipated match: **El Clásico**. Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona at the Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday, May 10, at 9:00 PM CEST (which will be 12:45 AM on Monday, May 11, for fans in Nepal). This showdown on Matchday 35 is widely expected to be the final decider for the La Liga trophy.
