Los Merengues will wrap up their 31st league title if they beat Osasuna away from home. They will face arch-rivals Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Real could have guaranteed their league triumph last week when they overcame Athletic Bilbao, but Villarreal's win over Real Betis delayed their celebrations.

"Winning it against Bilbao at home would have been perfect, but we have to win it sooner than later," Schuster said.

"That said, even winning it against Barcelona wouldn't matter to me," the German told the pre-match press conference.

Real approach the game with an almost full-strength side.

Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and German defender Christopher Metzelder returned to Real's squad after recovering from injuries.

Spanish midfielder Guti will be the only absentee through a knee problem.
