Real Madrid are away to Osasuna later today, and it’s a game that Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is targeting all three points.

However, Ancelotti has a heavy fixture schedule to think of.

After the weekend clash, is a trip to Liverpool for their round-of-16 Champions League first leg tie next Tuesday.

Madrid would then host local rivals Atletico in the league derby on February 25.

Ancelotti has bemoaned the fixture schedule, but has insisted that Madrid must reduce the gap behind Barcelona to five points, as the Blaugrana will play on Sunday.

“Our main objective is to reduce the gap [with Barca] to five points and keep winning,” Ancelotti told a news conference on Friday.

“The fixture list is very demanding. We have to be at this stage of the season with a good feeling.

“We just need to give our best in order to keep this good dynamic going. “We just need to prepare every single game in the same way.”
