This is it: Real Madrid's last match until January 6 when they meet Celta Vigo. The players will face off against a Valencia side looking to prove a point following a change at the managerial level. Di María will start in place of an injured Gareth Bale while Nacho will partner Sergio Ramos in the back in Pepe's absence. Ancelotti wants his side to dominate the game and end the year playing quality fluid football. Let's see if his players are up to the challenge as we turn our attention to the line-ups:
REAL MADRID STARTING LINE-UP: Diego López, Ramos, Ronaldo, Benzema, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, Arbeloa, Nacho, Modric, Di María and Isco
REAL MADRID SUBSTITUTES: Casillas, Carvajal, Casemiro, Jesé, Morata, Illarra and Llorente
VALENCIA STARTING LINE-UP: Guaita, Joao, V. Ruiz, Mathieu, Bernat, Oriol, Parejo, Feghouli, Fede, Piatti, and Jonas
VALENCIA SUBSTITUTES: Sergio Canales, Diego Alves, Banega, Javi Fuego, Alcácer, Guardado, and Ricardo Costa.
Hala Madrid!
