Real Madrid's expensively-assembled squad will look to justify their remarkable price-tags tonight as the new Galacticos face Lyon in the Champions League. The four most expensive players in Madrid's side alone cost £200 million this summer but the Spanish Giants are facing yet another humiliating exit at this stage of the competition. Manuel Pelligrini's side have now gone top of La Liga but many believe the Chilean will need to deliver Europe's most prestigious title to keep his job.

Spanish La Liga football betting – Real Madrid vs Seville
Real Madrid host Seville tonight in La Liga hoping to keep the pressure on league-leaders Barcelona. Real are now just two points behind their Catalan rivals with a superior goal difference and will definitely believe they can win the league this season.

Champions League football betting – Lyon vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid travel to the Stade Gerland tonight as they face Lyon in the first Champions League knockout stage. Real enter the match on a high, having made up ground on La Liga rivals Barcelona, who lost this weekend. Real thrashed Xerex 3-0, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice, and are now only two points behind Barca.
Spanish Copa del Rey betting – Real Madrid vs Alcorcon
Real Madrid will be eager for revenge tonight as they welcome third-tier Alcorcon to the Santiago Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey. Under normal circumstances Real Madrid fans worldwide would take for granted not only a win, but a very comfortable win, against such a side. However, these are troubling times for Los Merengues, who have won only two of their previous six games and two weeks ago lost 4-0 to the very minnows they face tonight. They will be boosted by the fact that they won their last game against Atletico, but their rivals are not the force they once were with only one win all season, and the narrow margin of victory can only be a concern for the famous men in white.
La Liga football betting – Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid make the short journey across the city to bitter rivals Atletico tonight in La Liga. This match, always vital to fans of both teams, has an extra edge to it as both teams are going through very poor spells at the moment. Real, after spending several hundred million pound over the summer, have won just once in their last five games in all competitions, losing to Milan at home and most embarrassingly being thrashed 4-0 by third-tier village side Alcorcon in the Spanish Cup despite putting out a very strong side. Atletico, however, have had problems of their own with only one win all season.
