It’s a Madrid derby which can allow Real to put pressure on FC Barcelona. Indeed, in the event of a victory this evening against Rayo Vallecano (a match to follow live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9 p.m.), the Merengue steal their leadership chair from the Culé, while waiting for the Catalans’ match tomorrow against Leganés.
Carlo Ancelotti chose a 4-1-3-2 with Courtois in goal. Due to numerous unavailability, Vazquez and Garcia will be the full-backs. Tchouaméni finds himself a central defender. Released due to injury in the middle of the week against Atalanta, Kylian Mbappé is not even on the bench. He gives way to the Rodrygo-Brahim doublet at the forefront. As for Inigo Perez, he relies on a 4-2-3-1 in which we find the French Florian Lejeune in central defense and Nteka alone in attack.
The official compositions:
Rayo Vallecano: Batalla – Ratiu, Mumin, Lejeune, Chavarria – Ciss, Unai Lopez – de Frutos, Palazon, Embarba – Nteka
Real Madrid : Courtois – Vazquez, Tchouaméni, Rüdiger, Fran Garcia – Valverde – Modric, Bellinghan, Güler – Diaz, Rodrygo
