Real Madrid's postponed La Liga game at Valencia has been rescheduled and will now be played on February 22.

The 16th round encounter - which will take place at the Mestalla Stadium - was originally scheduled to be played in December but was moved due to Real's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, a tournament that Zinedine Zidane's men went on to win.

The trip to Valencia will add to an already busy calendar for the La Liga leaders, who will play eight games in the space of 25 days, including their Champions League last 16 two-legged tie against Napoli.

Los Blancos are one point clear of defending champions Barcelona at the top of La Liga but have played two games less with Sevilla also hot on their heels in third place and three points behind.

Real were the subject of another postponement at the weekend after their game at Celta Vigo on Sunday evening was called off for safety reasons after bad weather in Galicia caused damage to the Balaidos Stadium.
