Real Madrid are set to take on Villarreal in La Liga 2024-25 this Sunday, October 6 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. This match, however, could be a little different as Carlo Ancelotti, known for his calm demeanor, rarely shows signs of frustration -- a simple raised eyebrow is usually all you get.

With the ever-changing dynamics of Madrid and Villarreal posing a tough challenge, Ancelotti might have more on his plate than usual.
This match will be a tough one for Madrid as they come off a recent loss, possibly facing their hardest home game of the season against a surging Villarreal side. Madrid currently sit second in La Liga, two points clear of Barcelona. However, their toughest challenger, Villarreal, is just one point behind in third place, armed with one of Spain's hottest scorers.
Substitute appearance by Kylian Mbappe was insufficient for Madrid to recover from Jonathan David's penalty in first-half stoppage time for Lille. Madrid suffered its first loss in the competition since the 2023 semifinals when they lost 4-0 against Manchester City.
This loss also ended Madrid's unbeaten run of 11 games in this season across the board, after their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in La Liga last weekend.
