Real Madrid will be aiming to make it successive wins at the start of their 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they travel to Almeria on Saturday evening.
Los Blancos opened their new season with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, with Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham on the scoresheet at San Mames.
Carlo Ancelotti's side finished second in La Liga last season, 10 points behind the champions Barcelona, who were held to a goalless draw by Getafe in their campaign opener.
