Real Madrid have secured a perfect return to La Liga action, with Toni Kross firing them into a 1-0 lead at home to Eibar.
Zinedine Zidane’s side are aiming to cut Barcelona’s lead at the top of the table back down to two points against Jose Luis Mendilibar’s relegation threatened side.
German international Kross has provided the ideal start for Los Blancos, calmly slotting into the top corner from the edge of the box.
