Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has made two changes to his team to take on Espanyol in a match that his side must win to keep any slim hopes of winning the La Liga title alive.

Keylor Navas and Pepe come into the side from the team that could only draw against Juventus during the week in their Champions League semi-final aggregate defeat.

Sergio Ramos and Iker Casillas make way, while Gareth Bale retains his place in the lineup despite receiving criticism for his performance against Juve.
