Real Madrid look like they're out of the title race. Now it's time to experimentAfter a 1-1 draw at home to Atletico Madrid on Saturday, it's unlikely Barcelona will be caught. Thoughts are turning to Madrid's next steps
Reinildo Mandava - Underwent ACL surgeryReinildo was subbed off due to injury in the 23rd minute of Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Madrid. He generated one cross (zero accurate) before exiting the match.
ImpactReinildo (knee) suffered a gruesome knee injury against Real Madrid that forced him to come out in the 23rd minute of the match. It was later revealed that he had a torn ACL and had immediate surgery on his knee. This is a huge loss for the defender, having started in all 28 appearances with 77 tackles (51 won), 59 clearances and 35 interceptions in all competitions. Jose Maria Gimenez will likely move to the left back position with Sergio Reguilon continuing to recover from a thigh issue.

Luka Modric - Records assistModric assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 90th minut...
ImpactModric came off the bench and assisted in the game-tying goal Saturday. He has logged in a goal and two assists in the last four matches, two of the games coming off the bench. With Modric now 37-years-old, he has been making more appearances off the bench to prevent injuries and fatigue towards the midfielder. Nonetheless, he is still producing numbers for the club, totaling six goals, four assists, 57 crosses (12 accurate) and 34 chances created in all competitions thus far.

Antoine Griezmann - Bags assistGriezmann assisted once to go with three crosses (one accurate) and two tackles (one won) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Madrid.
ImpactGriezmann has kept his consistent performances thus far with now two goals and two assists in the last six matches. Within that span, he has also totaled 25 crosses (six accurate) with 20 shots (six on target). This brings his average crosses a match to 3.7 and average shots to three a game.

Jose Maria Gimenez - First goal of seasonGimenez scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Real Madrid.
ImpactGimenez's first goal of the year was a big one against their town rivals off the bench Saturday. Scoring goals is not his thing, as he has only scored a maximum of two goals or less a season. He usually focuses on defending, averaging 4.2 clearances a match with 23 in his last five games played.

Jan Oblak - Busy in derbyOblak had six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Real Madrid.
ImpactOblak was untouchable for most of the match, until he allowed a goal to Alvaro Rodriguez to ruin his potential ninth clean sheet of the season. His last 11 games have been nothing but impressive, letting in just six goals on 24 saves with five clean sheets in that span. The goalkeeper is averaging 2.6 saves a contest and allowing just 0.7 goals in league play. He will welcome a visit from Sevilla on Saturday next match, who have scored six goals in the last five games. He also completed a clean sheet against the opponent during their last outing on Oct 1.

Thibaut Courtois - Allows one in drawCourtois registered no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid.
ImpactCourtois failed to make a save in two out of his last four matches played, which is unusual of him who typically averages 3.2 saves a game. He only has five clean sheets in La Liga thus far, which is far low from where he was last season with nine by the end of February. This was due to his poor start in the beginning of the season, allowing at least one goal a contest in his first six league matches. It has been a different story his last eight game, allowing a total of three goals with five clean sheets in league play.
