How to Watch Real Madrid vs. Villarreal on TV, Live Stream

It’s back to the grind for Real Madrid this weekend after an unusually long international break.
Time will tell if the extra days away from club duties was a good or bad thing for the players, who have been left to reflect on that damaging Madrid derby defeat three weeks ago.
The 2–1 loss to rivals Atlético leaves José Mourinho’s team fourth in the La Liga standings, six points off red-hot leaders Barcelona after just seven games played. The manager will expect a big reaction from his players when Villarreal come to town this weekend to stop things sliding further south.
Expect boos and whistles from the notoriously hard to please Bernabéu, but Madrid have the talent to turn the jeers into cheers. To do so, recent shortcomings must be rectified.
