Real Madrid will begin the new La Liga campaign at home to Getafe with Julen Lopetegui looking to lift the club back to the summit of Spanish football.
Los Blancos finished 17 points adrift of arch-rivals Barcelona last season with neighbours Atletico Madrid pipping them to second place in what turned out to be Zinedine Zidane’s final season in charge.
Real also begin life without their all-time top goal scorer Cristiano Ronaldo following his €100m move to Juventus – with Karim Benzema another possible high profile departure in the coming weeks.
While they have been able to console themselves with three successive Champions League triumphs, Real have managed just one Spanish league title in the last six seasons. Avoiding the start that saw them win just two of their opening five games last season will be key in rectifying that.
The first El Clásico of the 2018-19 season falls on 28 October at the Nou Camp with the return leg to follow on 28 March.
