Real Madrid will look to kick off 2024 with a win when they welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabeu for Wednesday's La Liga contest.
Los Blancos currently sit top of the table alongside surprise package Girona, while the visitors start the new year in 14th position.
Those results as well as their perfect record in the Champions League group stage led to Carlo Ancelotti being rewarded with a contract extension, which will keep him at the club until June 2026 and quash the rumours linking him with the Brazil manager's position.
In Real Madrid's final game of 2023 against Alaves, Ancelotti watched his team show great character to cope with Nacho's red card and snatch all three points courtesy of Lucas Vazquez's stoppage-time header.
Not only did the narrow win help extend their unbeaten run to 17 matches in all competitions (W14, D3), but they also kept their ninth clean sheet of the La Liga season, which is one more than any other side in the division.
