This Saturday, Real Madrid challenges its great rival Barça in the Spanish championship. A very important match in view of the title race and for which Carlo Ancelotti chose to cover his tracks.

The Italian coach, for example, chose to field a two-headed attack. Only Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr will be at the forefront. Which means that there is no room for the third thief, which is Rodrygo.

Four French people in Real’s eleven

This choice benefits a French person. Eduardo Camavinga will be able to hold his place in the midfield, alongside his compatriot Aurélien Tchouaméni. The midfield is completed by Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham. Point from Luka Modric, on the other hand. Despite his good recent performances, the Croatian finds himself once again on the bench.

In defense, no revolution is to be reported. The usual holders are there. Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao will hold their positions in the center, while Ferland Mendy and Lucas Vazquez (replacing Carvajal) will play on the sides. Thibaut Courtois being injured, Andriy Lunine will have a new opportunity to show himself during a Classic.

Real Madrid starting lineup:

Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga; Bellingham; Vinicius, Mbappé.
