Real Madrid welcome Sporting Gijon to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, November 26. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
La Liga table toppers Real Madrid play host to La Liga strugglers Sporting Gijon. Los Blancos overcame Sporting Lisbon in midweek to maintain their unbeaten run and progress to the second round of the Champions League. However, in that victory, Zinedine Zidane’s side was dealt a huge blow with Gareth Bale coming off injured. Reports have since suggested that Bale will be out for four months and require ankle surgery.
Real Madrid has a team full of superstars but to lose someone as athletic and talented as Bale could be the difference between winning and losing major trophies. His partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo was also starting to take great shape so the Portuguese forward will be as disappointed as Zidane is.
Sporting Gijon should not prove to be the biggest challenge for Real Madrid and although Gareth Bale will be missed his team should be able to get the job done without him. Gijon will try to frustrate Real Madrid but the La Liga leaders should have too much firepower for the side from the north of Spain who has not won away from home this season.
The La Liga match between Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon will be broadcast live on BeIN Sports. Live streaming is available on the BeIN Sports , which you can access with your cable or satellite subscriptions.
