Levante vs Real Madrid is scheduled for Tuesday, September 23, 2025, in a pivotal La Liga clash as the 2025–26 season enters Matchday 6. Levante sit 15th with 5 points from five matches, having struggled for consistency but secured a morale-boosting 2-1 home win over Cádiz last weekend. Real Madrid, meanwhile, top the table on 13 points after five fixtures, unbeaten with four wins and a draw, buoyed by Karim Benzema’s €850,000 hat-trick in their 5-0 romp over Granada.
Levante have no new injury concerns, so Julian Calero can select from his full squad. Midfielder Jon Ander Olasagasti is pushing for a recall after featuring off the bench against Girona. Goal threats Karl Etta Eyong and Iván Romero each have three league goals so far.
Real Madrid will be without Trent Alexander-Arnold (hamstring), Antonio Rüdiger and Ferland Mendy (both injured), but welcome back Dean Huijsen from suspension. Bellingham and Camavinga are both ready to start after recovering from injuries, while Arda Güler and Brahim Díaz are also fit for tomorrow.
