Possible alignment of Real Madrid in the LaLiga Classic

The Classic is here, the League returns for Real Madrid. Ancelotti’s team takes up the pulse of the championship three weeks later, no less than against Barcelona. The whites said goodbye to the domestic competition before the break with a bitter defeat against Espanyol, but they face the Classic with renewed feelings after the resounding defeat of Shakhtar in the Champions League. A match, that of Ukraine, which served Ancelotti to clarify many conceptions about the team. After several tests with 4-4-2, the Italian has decided to recover his bet on 4-3-3. A drawing that has recognized Carletto, come back to stay.

The Madrid coach has recovered Carvajal, who returns after a month off, and Hazard, absent in Kiev due to discomfort. But the lineup will not differ much from the one he presented last Tuesday. One of the doubts focuses on the right side, where he can choose Nacho or Lucas Vázquez. The Galician has been the starter in that position in the last two games for the whites. And on the left flank, everything indicates that Mendy will repeat, who returned to the team against Shakhtar after almost half a year injured.

The continuity of 4-3-3, with Casemiro, Modric and Kroos available, suggests that Rodrygo will remain in the eleven. Ancelotti explained in the preview that he does not see Valverde there. “In that system it has to be medium. If I ask Valverde to play Rodrygo I’m wrong and vice versa. You can change a player’s position, but not his qualities,” he commented.

Possible eleven of Real Madrid against Barcelona in the Classical

With these premises, the possible eleven available to the Real Madrid coach in the Camp Nou Classic is as follows: Courtois; Nacho Lucas Vázquez, Militao, Alaba, Mendy; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius. Ancelotti has completed the call with eleven other players: Lunin, Luis López, Carvajal, Vallejo, Marcelo, Blanco, Camavinga, Valverde, Asensio, Hazard and Mariano.
