Real Madrid make their 2026 debut on Sunday afternoon when they host the surging Real Betis at the Bernab\u00e9u. <\/p>\n

A dreadful run to end the year saw Real Madrid<\/a> relinquish the La Liga <\/a>lead to bitter rivals Barcelona, firmly placing Xabi Alonso on the hot seat six months into his tenure. Los Blancos will aim to leave a trophyless 2025 behind them and get off to a positive start in 2026. <\/p>\n

Real Madrid are seven points adrift of Barcelona<\/a> at the summit of La Liga and they can ill afford not to take the chance to shrink that gap to four on Sunday. A positive result will lift confidence ahead of a trip to Saudi Arabia for a daunting Madrid derby vs. Atl\u00e9tico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal next week. <\/p>\n

Real Betis won\u2019t be an easy matchup, though, as Los Blancos have just one win in their last five meetings. Manuel Pellegrini\u2019s side have rounded into form recently and will be confident they can compete against a struggling Madrid side. <\/p>\n

Here is Sports Illustrated\u2019s<\/em> guide to the La Liga clash.<\/p>\n
