When & Where to Watch Real Madrid’s Players During the November International Break

Real Madrid thrashed Eibar 4-0 last time out meaning they head into the international break in second place in La Liga, only behind leaders Barcelona on goal difference.

It will not be until November 23rd before Madrid next play though due to the international break, with 14 of Zinedine Zidane’s players called up to represent their countries this week in both Euro 2020 qualifiers and international friendlies.

Here below is a rundown of how you can see these 14 players in action across the globe.


Casemiro, Eder Militao and Rodrygo (Brazil)

Casemiro,Iwobi Alexander

Youngster Rodrygo has shown real promise so far this term and has been rewarded with a first senior call up for the games against Argentina and South Korea this week.

Alongside Rodrygo, Casemiro and Militao are once again in the squad with the former a key man in the midfield for Brazil. The 27-year-old is expected to start for their game against bitter rivals Argentina in Saudi Arabia, in what will be one of the most ferocious friendlies there has been in a long time.

Sergio Ramos & Dani Carvajal (Spain)

Sergio Ramos

Sergio Ramos became the most capped player for Spain in history when he featured for his country for the 168th time against Norway in October, leapfrogging previous record holder Iker Casillas, who has 167 caps.

With La Roja already qualified for Euro 2020, Spain will likely rotate the side for their upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against Malta and Romania but Ramos and Carvajal will feature at least once.

Alphonse Areola & Raphael Varane (France)

UEFA EURO 2020 qualifier group H"France v Turkye"

Having appeared ten times in ​La Liga this term and in seven of France’s Euro 2020 qualifiers so far, defender Varane is a senior figure in the France side and he is expected to start in both of their upcoming games.

Alongside Varane, goalkeeper Areola – who has had been limited to just two appearances for Madrid this season – is in line to get rare playing time too this week, with France and Spurs number one Hugo Lloris out injured until 2020.

Thibaut Courtois & Eden Hazard (Belgium)

Belgium v Scotland - UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

Having already qualified for next summer’s Euro 2020 finals, all that is left for Belgium to do is conquer top spot in Group I ahead of Russia – who sit three points below them.

While Eden Hazard has not yet made his mark in Spain, scoring just once for ​Madrid, he is the main man for Belgium and is likely to start alongside Courtois for the games against Russia and Cyprus.

Luka Modric (Croatia)

Wales v Croatia - UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifier

Modric will captain Croatia for their crucial upcoming qualifier against Slovakia and then their friendly against Georgia three days later.

Gareth Bale (Wales)

Gareth Bale

After Bale looked set to leave Madrid in the summer, he has since come back into the side and been an important figure so far this term. However, he has had his usual injury worries.

If Bale is to be involved in next summer’s Euros though, he must lead his Wales side to two victories against Azerbaijan and Hungary in Group E.

Germany are level on 15 points with Group C leaders Netherlands going into their final two games.

However, with Northern Ireland just three points further back, Kroos faces important games against Belarus and then Northern Ireland, with Germany needing to pick up victories to secure qualification.

James Rodriguez

After featuring nine times for Madrid this term, James has been called up for the Colombia squad for their two friendly games that are taking place in America against Peru and Ecuador.

Federico Valverde (Uruguay) 

FBL-COPA AMERICA-2019-URU-PER

The 21-year-old midfielder has enjoyed a really good start to the 2019/20 season, cutting out danger and keeping things ticking over for Madrid with his passing.

It is no surprise therefore that Valverde has once again been called up to play for Uruguay for their games against Hungary and Argentina.
