Luka Modric returns to ownership

Madrid will begin to defend the leadership that recovered in the Classic this Sunday against Betis in the Villamarín (21:00 hours, Movistar LaLiga). Zidane prepare some variations with respect to the eleven players who won the Barcelona, but having no game during the week (the return against the Manchester City it is day 17) it will not alter the alignment too much. The main novelties will arrive on the left side and midfield, where they will enter Mendy and Modric after being substitutes in the Classic (the Croatian played the final minutes and the side saw the whole match from the bench).

The sacrificed, in principle, will be Marcelo and Valverde. On the left side, the rotations have been habitual throughout the season and Mendy is usually the one chosen in the demanding games away from the Bernabéu. In the middle, Zizou Also opt for rotations to keep everyone plugged in. In front of the City the sacrificed was Kroos, against Barcelona Modric and this time everything indicates that it will be Valverde who has rest.
