4 home, 3 away: Real Madrid's remaining fixtures before World Cup

With El Clasico now behind them, Real Madrid have just seven games left to play before the World Cup in Qatar starts.

Here we list them.

1. Elche vs Real Madrid - October 19

2. Real Madrid vs Sevilla - October 22

3. RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid - October 25

4. Real Madrid vs Girona - October 30

5. Real Madrid vs Celtic - November 2

6. Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid - November 7

7. Real Madrid vs Cadiz - November 10

The tournament begins on November 20, when hosts Qatar take on Ecuador after the opening ceremony. The final will be played on December 18.

The shifted World Cup, which is usually played in the summer, has made footballers' schedules even busier - they are to play practically every three days before the international break interferes.
