Real to wear last season's away kitPlaying Valencia on the roadCan extend lead at top of La LigaWHAT HAPPENED?
Real face Valencia on Saturday night and will hope to extend their lead at the top of La Liga to nine points with a victory. However, they have been forced to raid the wardrobe and find last season's away kit to wear during the game, due to a bizarre coincidence.

Real are wearing their purple away kit because both their away and third kits this season match the black Valencia shorts and socks. As a result, because their home kit is white, as is Valencia's, they have been forced into the remarkable step of wearing last season's strip instead.

Real won the reverse fixture in thumping fashion, as they ran out 5-1 winners at the Bernabeu, thanks to a pair of braces from Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, and a strike from Dani Carvajal. They will be out to repeat the trick this weekend.
