Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti says they face Atletico Madrid on Sunday in good shape.
Ancelotti expects a tough derby clash.
He said: “I think it'll be a hard-fought game. There are some key aspects when you come up against teams like them, such as duels, set pieces, open spaces… because they're very strong defensively. They're a threat on the counter-attack and we'll have to prepare in these areas and be smart.
“The team's in good shape. We've got a few days to monitor the progress of Benzema, who trained on his own today. Casemiro is fine and the rest of them are fit and ready. Some of them were a bit tired today, but that's to be expected given that we played just two days ago. We'll do a pretty big tactical session tomorrow and some light preparation on Saturday in the build-up.
“There's big rivalry between the fans and the players and everyone involved. Atlético want to beat Madrid and Madrid want to beat Atlético."
