This is the possible XI that Ancelotti ranks for the game that tomorrow he plays Real Madrid at the Bernabéu against him Athletic Bilbao
The Belgian once again emerged as a Real Madrid hero in the agonizing victory over Sevilla on Sunday (2-1). He made a tremendous save to Acuña’s header on the last play. He is still for me the most decisive player in the team, although his merit does not look as much as that of a striker
He has returned from his injury and at the club they pray that they will remit at once. It seems that Real Madrid is working on the Frimpong option to find him a natural substitute for guarantees. Until then at a minimum, the right lane is yours if it is healthy.
Ancelotti could bet on Nacho to give another break to a Militao who this season is at an incredible level. The youth squad scored the winning goal last year at San Mamés (0-1), on matchday 37. That goal extended the Whites’ chances of being champions until the end.
Due to the pace that Alaba is taking, he is on his way to becoming one of the best free transfers in history. Almost always central, but what is certain is that the Austrian plays everything. The other day was one of the highlights against Sevilla.
It seems not, but Mendy is a differential player in this team. It is no coincidence that, after an injury that left him in the dry dock for 5 months, the team has resurfaced after his return. 8 wins and 1 draw in 9 games since he returned. He has started in all but one, where he played at the end. Untouchable for Ancelotti
Day in and day out, Casemiro is a starter at Real Madrid. The first of the legs of this everlasting midfield in the whites does not miss one. Now with the return of Valverde the same Ancelotti gives him a little more rest, but against Athletic it does not seem that it will be.
One of the fittest players at the start of the season at Real Madrid is Toni Kroos. Play and make the team play, which this time is at the pace set by the German. It is quite a rudder in the middle that gives an incredible quality leap to yours.
Now that Messi has just been given his seventh Ballon d’Or, we remember the one that the Croatian won in 2018. The only one that Lionel or Cristiano have not won in the last 13 years. Seeing the level that continues to maintain in each game, it is fair. Immovable and in great shape.
The numerous casualties in attack mean that this time the ‘not ruled out’ is Asensio. With the exception of a couple of games, he still does not offer the level expected of him. In his line of each year, very irregular.
Vinicius is becoming the new idol of the Santiago Bernabéu on his own merits. Against Sevilla he had not appeared much, but in the last minutes he invented a great goal of the flag to give the team a capital victory. His season is being stratospheric.
Although he has only finished 4th in the Ballon d’Or nominations, Benzema is a differential player every day. On Sunday he unblocked the team with his tying goal before the break. On the other hand, Athletic is one of his favorite victims. Last year he doubled at Di Stéfano (3-1).
