Real Madrid are looking to keep the pressure on their rivals Barcelona when they host Osasuna in the 22nd stage of the Spanish League on Saturday. Karim Benzema, who recently retired from the French national team, is in doubt for the match due to injury. Real Madrid are currently 8 points behind Barcelona, and with Barcelona playing their match with Cadiz on Sunday, Real Madrid have the opportunity to reduce the gap. Benzema has played 13 of Real Madrid’s 21 league games this season, scoring 11 goals, and is fifth in the list of the top scorers in La Liga. Meanwhile, Barcelona are having a good run, not losing any of their last 17 games in all competitions. However, they suffered a setback when their young star Pedri was injured in the draw with Manchester United, and is expected to be out for three to four weeks. Barcelona are hoping Pedri’s absence will not affect their performance, as he has scored six goals in the Championship this season. Cadiz are currently sixteenth with 22 points, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
