Real vs Betis Preview

Contrary to what I feared, Cristiano IS fit and (according to Mou) he WILL play tomorrow. Higuaín, di María, Marcelo and Varane also rejoined the squad again from international duties. According to RM'S website, Benzema, Coentrao, Di Maria and Pepe made the cut. We might also see Altintop play his first league game!

On a whole different topic, we now know who and when we'll play in the Copa Del Rey and that team is...

Ponferradina!
(Don't worry; we'll know more about them later ;)

Real Madrid to face Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey Last 16

Real Madrid will play its first game at El Toralin Stadium on December 13th.

So in summary, at 18:00 on Saturday, we will play (and hopefully beat) Real Betis. About two months later, we will start the Copa against Ponferradina. (who we will beat as well... I hope.)
