Trent Alexander-Arnold was dropped for the Madrid derby after reportedly being late for training, but he came off the bench to assist Vinicius Jr's winner and go some way to again proving his doubters wrong just a few days after he wasn't named in Thomas Tuchel's 35-man England squad. Gary and Alex react to a brilliant game in the Bernabeu as Vini Jr's brace and another goal from Fede Valverde secured a crucial 3-2 victory. Watch out for another golazo from Atletico's Nahuel Molina. Barcelona were below their best in a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, relying on a string of saves from goalkeeper Joan Garcia to hold onto the three points and remain top of La Liga.

Real Madrid missed the chance to go five points clear as they fell to a shock 2-1 defeat at Osasuna, their first league loss under Alvaro Arbeloa in six games. We look at an encouraging display from Trent Alexander-Arnold off the bench, Vinicius Jr's continued scoring run, and whether the defending champions can respond after surrendering top spot. Barcelona took full advantage, returning to the top with a convincing 3-0 win over Levante. We discuss Frenkie de Jong's first goal in 13 months and what this means for the title race with just 13 games to go. Atletico Madrid bounced back from their recent poor run with a 4-2 win over Espanyol. Ademola Lookman continued his flying start with four goals in six games. We ask if this can be the springboard for a consistent run from Diego Simeone's side. Join The Players Lounge: The official fantasy football club of The Rest Is Football.

Trent Alexander-Arnold starred for Real Madrid as he made his return from injury in the 4-1 win over Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu, a win that saw them go top of La Liga at least temporarily. Gary and Alex look at whether he is finally finding his feet in Madrid, the praise he's getting from Alvaro Arbeloa and what that could mean for his chances of making the world cup squad. Atletico Madrid continue to put their fans through it as they followed up a stunning 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey by meekly surrendering to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in a 3-0 defeat. Diego Simeone and Jan Oblak were at loggerheads after the game, so we check in on Atleti and look at why their season is so continually up and down.

It’s neck and neck at the top of La Liga as Real Madrid kept up the pressure on leaders Barcelona with a 2-0 win away at third placed Villarreal while Barca put last week’s slip up behind them with a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo at the Camp Nou. Gary and Alex look at another two goals for the rampant Kylian Mbappe, including a panenka penalty he awkwardly dedicated to teammate Brahim Diaz, and there’s an absolute stunner from Lamine Yamal to enjoy too. It’s transfer season and rumours have begun to swirl over Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future at Real Madrid, with some reports suggesting he could be on the way out in the summer. Gary and Alex look at the England international’s difficult first six months in Madrid and assess his chances of turning his fortunes around as we approach the world cup. There’s more transfer talk on the other half of Madrid with Atletico’s Julian Alvarez linked with a return to the Premier League in what would be a sensational January move to Arsenal. Diego Simeone has publicly backed the underperforming former Man City man but could the move be the thing that would finally get the Gunners over the line in their quest to win the Premier League title?
