JAKARTA - The match against Real Betis on Saturday is Real Madrid's last match by air.

In the competition framework they will enter, coach Carlo Ancelotti has found a small'sutu' in the form of a calendar.

This will give them a break that refers to a trip to away games, which are very difficult to manage by the club nicknamed Los Blancos.

After Barcelona's match against Espanyol, they will have 50 days without a trip in La Liga Santander, until October 19, when they face Elche.

Until then, Ancelotti's troops will play six games without leaving Madrid. They will play at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu against Real Betis, Real Mallorca, Osasuna and Barcelona; and away against rivals one city; Atletico Madrid and Getafe.

Bonuses for rest

After Elche, Ancelotti's team will play four more league games without leaving Madrid, namely home games against Sevilla, Girona and Cadiz; and away against Rayo Vallecano.

In total, of the next 11 league games, only the game against Elche required Real Madrid out of the Spanish capital before the World Cup break.

Including the Champions League, there will be four trips (Glasgoow, Warsaw, Elche and Berlin) in the next 17 matches. In other words, there will only be four trips in the next 72 days.

In fact, between the trip to Glasgow and the next trip to Warsaw, there will be 34 days without leaving Madrid.
