Real Madrid seeks to untie the knot against Villarreal in tonight's battle

Carlo Ancelotti led Real Madrid to success in La Liga and the Champions League has a chance to get rid of the misfortune, which has been associated with the Blanco when they face up in front of its host Villarreal at La Ceramica stadium tonight in the semi-final of the King’s Cup of Spain. Villarreal held Madrid to five consecutive draws at its stadium, took the initiative, and forced Madrid's defenders into sloppy passing. Real Madrid failed to win during the last 6 matches at Villarreal Stadium, where 5 matches ended in a draw, although the Royal lost a match. Real Madrid came from two goals down to swiftly reclaim the top spot in La Liga with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Villarreal in February 2017. Real Madrid met Villarreal once previously in the King’s Cup of Spain in the 1998/99 season in the final price round as well, as Al-Merenji won 2-0 with two goals from Fernando Morientes, and in the second leg, Real Madrid won with two unanswered goals scored by Morientes as well.
