Real Madrid hosts Alavés this Saturday on matchday 25 of LaLiga Santander. The white team needs to return to the path of victory after the draw at Villarreal and the defeat in Paris and they also have to rediscover the goal after two games without scoring.
To reverse this situation and leave the three points at the Bernabéu, Ancelotti will take out the next eleven.
There are no doubts in the goal. The Belgian goalkeeper was the best in Paris and in almost every Madrid game with his big and decisive saves that ultimately add up points for the team. Tomorrow he will be under the sticks again.
On the right side will be Dani Carvajal. The one from Leganés is the starter in that position and being in optimal conditions, he will be the one who starts. His raises by band will be key to give greater depth to the game of the team although most of it becomes on the left side.
The Brazilian central defender is being one of the best of the season for Real Madrid, despite the fact that from time to time he also makes serious mistakes. But if he is in the best version of himself it is difficult to surpass him. He is one of those fixed in Ancelotti’s plans.
David Alaba will be in the center of the defense, and together with Militao they form one of the best pairs of central defenders in this League. The Austrian has a great ball output and is one of those central defenders who likes to go out with the ball and join the attack.
The left side will be occupied by Mendy. The Frenchman is already recovered and had minutes on Tuesday in Paris, so Ancelotti will once again bet on him from the start. Mendy is one of the pieces that Madrid has missed the most in recent games.
One of the essentials and also one of those responsible for the proper functioning of Madrid in defense. Casemiro is still not at the level of other years but even so, his work in helping and supporting the team is fundamental and there is no other like him in the squad.
Kroos did not have his best performance in Paris but Ancelotti is very clear about his midfield and he is not going to change. The German will be in the engine room and if the players don’t overwhelm him and let him receive the ball and think, then the game will be played the way he wants.
The practically immovable third piece in midfield is Luka Modric. If Alavés locks himself up at the Bernabéu, the Croatian will have to bring out his magic and filter those passes that can disrupt any defense.
In the attacking trident the eternal doubt is knowing who will occupy the right wing. It seemed that Asensio had won the game over Rodrygo but after his match in Paris the Brazilian could return to the eleven again.
On the far left there is no question. Vinicius will return to play in the league after completing his suspension match against Granada. It seems that Vini has lost the spark of previous months and has to go back to being that unbalancing and decisive player.
The eleven is completed by Karim Benzema who, as happened with Mendy, reappeared in Paris from his injury and will return from the start tomorrow. Madrid have missed their goalscorer in recent games and the team needs their goals more than ever.
