Possible alignment of Real Madrid against Villarreal in the League

Before PSG, Villarreal. Madrid will face Emery’s team this Saturday in the last game before the white team takes the pulse of the Champions League again, on Tuesday in the first leg of the round of 16 against PSG. The league commitment will not be a dress rehearsal for Paris, given the absences of Benzema and Mendy. Both hurry to be in the Parc des Princes, but do not arrive in time for the commitment in the Ceramics Stadium. They are, along with Mariano, the three absences in Ancelotti’s call.

The biggest unknown in the transalpine coach’s eleven is how he will compose the attack. In the last two games, Asensio and Isco have acted like fakes 9. Given the loss of Benzema, Carletto justified the absence of Jovic in the eleven because the Serbian had not yet reached a point of optimal form after having passed the COVID. One of the white coach’s options is to once again trust Isco at the top, with Asensio and vinicius in the extremes. The Brazilian returns to the eleven after having served a penalty match against Granada for accumulating yellow cards.

The other retouch that Ancelotti can do in his eleven is in the center of the fieldwhere, thinking about the Champions League match, you can consider giving Modric a rest and putting Valverde in his place as a companion for Casemiro and Kroos.

In goal, Courtois will start one more game. Ahead of him will be Carvajal, Militao, Alaba and Marcelo, who will be back in the eleven after putting on a good game last day and leaving the Bernabéu with a standing ovation.

Possible starting team of Ancelotti for Villarreal-Real Madrid

Summing up, the possible eleven that Carlo Ancelotti can line up for Villarreal-Real Madrid at the Estadio de la Cerámica is made up of: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Marcelo; Valverde, Casemiro, Kroos; Asensio, Isco and Vinicius. The Real Madrid coach has called up all the available players from the first team and Toni Fuidias as third goalkeeper, so he will have 12 players on the bench for the possible five substitutions: Lunin, Fuidias himself, Nacho, Vallejo, Camavinga, Modric, Ceballos, Lucas Vázquez, Bale, Rodrygo, Hazard and Jovic.
