In an upcoming match at the Gran Canaria Stadium, the Yellow team will go head-to-head with the current European champions. Las Palmas FC, sitting in 13th place, is set to host the reigning La Liga champions, Real Madrid, in the third week of the La Liga season. Real Madrid will be looking to extend their winning streak and maintain their impressive start to the season, while Las Palmas will be keen to secure their first victory of the La Liga campaign and make a statement against one of the league’s top teams. This matchup promises to be a thrilling battle as both teams are driven by strong motivations.
UD Las Palmas kicked off their La Liga journey with a draw against Sevilla. Despite facing a setback with an own goal from Tanguy Nianzou, a goal in the 71st minute by Sandro Ramirez helped Las Palmas earn a hard-fought point to start their season. However, in their recent game against Leganés, Las Palmas experienced a defeat. Although Sandro Ramirez scored during stoppage time, it was insufficient to change the outcome after Leganés had already scored two goals and secured all three points.

With the match taking place at their home turf, the Gran Canaria Stadium, they aim to leverage the support to create their own “theatre of dreams” against Real Madrid.
On the other hand, Real Madrid, the defending European title holders, faced an unexpected challenge in their opening La Liga match, settling for a draw against Mallorca. After taking a lead with a goal from Rodrygo, Mallorca equalized in the 53rd minute through Vedat Muriqi. The game also saw Los Blancos reduced to ten men when Ferland Mendy was sent off during stoppage time, leaving them with just a point.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid made a strong comeback in their match, defeating Real Valladolid with a score of 3-0. Goals by Federico Valverde, Brahim Diaz, and Endrick showcased their prowess and reinforced their status as the reigning European champions. The team will be keen to carry this momentum forward and continue their winning streak.
