Valverde will be straight in, in the absence of Lucas Vázquez. The doubt is in the middle: Modric or Ceballos.
With a shaky defense-the mildly exhausting a forward line of world class, Real Madrid will go to the Etihad to play Manchester City in the Champions League for a competition that seems destined to be a shootout. However, do not put on the house on it – football is always full of surprises.
The last setback is the hamstring tear by Lucas Vázquez, who will set him aside for three weeks. As a result, Valverde right back is enclosed. That much is certain. From there, a Domino effect is in midfield.
Forced with Tchouaméni in a center-rulol, both of Real Madrid's usual starters in that position will not play in place. This opens the door for changes in midfield. In that context, Camavinga is almost a given defensive contributions and the ability to thrive in an intensive competition make him indispensable. The real debate is about his midfield partner: Modric or Ceballos? Ancelotti still weighs his options.
Who plays for Real Madrid against Manchester City?
The rest of the line -up seems to be set. Asensio will start and Mendy will return to left back-to-persistent doubts, he remains Ancelotti's husband for big nights. In the front, the Fantastic Four will lead.
Bellingham will take on his usual playmaker -in which Rodrygo shifts to the right, Vinícius who recovers the left flank where he made the headlines in 2022 (do you remember that brilliant nutmeg on Fernandinho?), And Mbappé who led the attack.
Predicted Real Madrid XI vs. Manchester City
Courtois; Valverde, Tchouaméni, Asensio, Mendy; Modric or Ceballos, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinícius; Mbappé.
