Real Madrid head off to Villarreal for a weekend La Liga clash on May 19.
Los Blancos have already partied in the streets of Madrid after sealing the La Liga title and their end of season focus is on the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are looking to maintain momentum ahead of their Wembley showdown, but the Italian coach will continue to rotate, with key players rested in Castellon.
Villarreal are still in the hunt for European qualification this season as they battle with Real Betis and Real Sociedad for a Europa League spot.

Real Madrid vs. Villarreal prediction
Real Madrid have not really eased up, with two league wins from two since being confirmed as Spanish champions earlier this month, and they have only lost once in La Liga all season.
Villarreal have lost just once in their last six, but they look unlikely to get the two wins they probably need to reach the top six, but they could still claim seventh and the Europa Conference League.
Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Villarreal
