Held by Mallorca (1-1) on the first day of La Liga, Real Madrid will try to get back on track this Sunday when they host Valladolid. The opportunity for Kylian Mbappé to make his official debut on the Santiago Bernabeu pitch and, perhaps, to make people forget his average performance in the previous match.
The captain of the French team, who scored in the European Super Cup against Atlanta but failed to score in the Balearic Islands, is once again a starter in the attack against the Bianquivoletas.
There are two French players in the Madrid eleven
Carlo Ancelotti opted for his traditional 4-3-3, with the obligation to do without Jude Bellingham, who is out for at least a month due to a leg injury. Kylian Mbappé is not the only French player to start this game, since former Monaco player Aurélien Tchouameni is starting in midfield. Note the first appearances in the eleven of left-back Fran Garcia, in place of Ferland Mendy, and of Arda Güler, the Turkish nugget, in midfield.
Real Madrid’s starting lineup against Valladolid: Courtois – Carvajal, Militao, Rüdiger, Fran Garcia – Valverde, Tchouameni, Güler – Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vinicius Jr.
