Eibar coach Jose Luis Mendilibar believes there's little difference between Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari and his predecessor Julen Lopetegui.

The Basque club's press room was more packed than normal as the visit of Los Blancos is eagerly awaited.

"It's true that they have won all their games with the new coach," Mendilibar told reporters.

"But I don't think there are many differences between Solari and Lopetegui in their style of play.

"It wasn't normal for them to lose so many games. Now is the norm.

"I imagine that the players are more at ease because victories make you happy and they will come here with encouragement."
