Whites look for 17th victory in La Liga


The return leg of La Liga starts today for Real Madrid with a match against Zaragoza at the Bernabeu (20:00 CET). The Whites have a five-point cushion over runners-up Barcelona and are accustomed to showering their latest opponents in the championship with goals at their stadium.
Mourinho's side has earned the most victories (16) and scored the most goals (67) in the competition. Cristiano Ronaldo has played a key role in this by tallying an unprecedented 23 strikes in the first leg of the league.


The Madridistas are the only team that's scored in every home game this season in the Spanish First Division. They won 6-0 against Zaragoza at La Romareda in Week 2. Tonight's clash will be extra special for Gonzalo Higuain, who played his first game with Real Madrid just over five years ago against Zaragoza in the Spanish capital.

Jose Mourinho has included 21 men on his squad list. Castilla goalkeeper Jesus has made the cut, while the injured Khedira and Di Maria will miss the clash.

Zaragoza are currently at the tail of the table with only 12 points. They haven't won any of their last 12 games, scoring only one goal in the last three. Mateos, Antonio Tomas and Fernando Meira will miss tonight's game.
