After the Champions League debut, LaLiga is back and Real Madrid will host Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The perico team is in the middle of the table and arrives after two consecutive victories, although the white stadium is not the easiest for rivals to score points.
Below we leave you with the possible lineup of Real Madrid for this match.
BY: Thibaut Courtois – The Belgian goalkeeper remains one of the team’s most solid players, providing security between the posts with his reflexes and presence in the area. Courtois is essential to keep the defence calm, especially with the absences in central defence.
LD: LUCAS VAZQUEZ – At right back, Lucas Vázquez will take the position from Carvajal, who has played in all but one of the matches as a starter. Now it is the turn of the Galician who has not been in the starting eleven since the league match against Las Palmas.
CB: Antonio Rüdiger – The German remains the mainstay of the defence in the absence of Alaba. Rüdiger brings physicality, aggression and experience to the defensive line, and is also a threat from set pieces.
DFC: Eder Militao – Militao has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the world. His speed, strength in the air and ability to anticipate plays make him a crucial defensive bulwark for Madrid.
LI: Fran Garcia– The young full-back continues to earn his place in the team thanks to his speed and ability to join the attack. Fran García will provide depth on the left flank, in addition to his energy and defensive disposition.
MCD: Aurelién Tchouaméni – In midfield and after being injured, Tchouaméni will be key to giving the team balance. His ability to intercept balls, break lines and distribute play will be essential to control the pace of the match.
MC: Federico Valverde –The Uruguayan is known for his tireless energy and versatility in midfield. Valverde contributes both in attack and defence, and his ability to get into the opposition box makes him a lethal weapon in quick transitions.
MC: Arda Güler – With Brahim Diaz out injured, the coach may be able to rely on Arda Güler this time, especially with Bellingham fresh from injury. The team lacks imagination in the attacking zone, and the Turk is a true genius in that regard.
EI: Vinicius Junior – The Brazilian remains one of the main sources of danger in the Real Madrid attack. His speed, dribbling and ability to finish in the final third of the pitch make Vinicius a constant threat to the opposing defence.
DC: Kylian Mbappé – After his brace in the last matchday, Mbappé is the team’s main offensive reference. His speed, goalscoring ability and his understanding with the other forwards will be fundamental for Madrid’s success in this match.
ED: Rodrygo Goes – He completes the attacking trident with his ability and vision to link up with his teammates. Rodrygo contributes with dribbling and goals, and his presence on the right wing will be key to opening up spaces in Espanyol’s defence.
This is what Real Madrid’s lineup would look like (4-3-3)
Goalie: Courtois
Defenses: Lucas Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger and Mendy
Midfielders: Tchouaméni, Valverde and Guler
Forwards: Rodrygo, Vinicius and Mbappé
