Carlo Ancelotti’s coach has made a turnover in his team for the duel against Espanyol in the league.

Real Madrid will look to continue their run of good results this Saturday by beating Espanyol at home. The Merengue team will perform with an unprecedented triplet in attack.

Faced with the series of matches, Carlo Ancelotti has decided to rotate. Thus, he has removed a starter from the eleven. It is Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian is called to rest. And it is Arda Guler who replaces him at the front.

Ancelotti brings out his star in attack

Kylian Mbappé, for his part, is kept up front. The French international will try to score for the fourth match in a row. He could be supplied with balls by Rodrygo, as was the case on Tuesday evening against Stuttgart in C1.

In midfield, it’s a classic. While Luka Modric remains on the bench, Tchouaméni, Valverde and Bellingham are all present. The Frenchman and the Englishman need to play a series of matches after being absent at the start of the season.

Real Madrid’s defense unchanged

Behind, Ancelotti does not touch his axial pair Rudiger – Militao. And on the wings, we still trust the immovable Carvajal and Mendy. In goal, it is obviously Courtois who is aligned.

Real’s eleven against Espanyol:

Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham; Rodrygo, Mbappé, Guler.
