After the demanding first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Manchester City, Real Madrid faces this matchday 31 of LaLiga against Mallorca with the possible need to make some rotation given the great wear and tear suffered by some players, although without losing sight of the objective of lifting the league title at the end of the season.
Next, we leave you with the lineup that the Italian coach could have on the green for this LaLiga match.
BY: LUNIN – The Ukrainian goalkeeper has become indisputable in the white goal this season. Furthermore, due to Courtois' new injury, it seems that he will finish the campaign as a starter. Despite not showing great confidence in overhead balls, the player has great ability between the sticks, and in that dispute with Kepa for a place in the starting eleven it seems that he has won the battle.
LHP: LUCAS VÁZQUEZ – Given the proximity of the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Manchester City, Ancelotti could choose to rest some players, and in this case, the Spanish full-back could start replacing Carvajal, who had a great physical exhaustion in the first leg.

DFC: RÜDIGER – The German center back is being one of the white team's most outstanding players this year. He has left matches at a high level and showing that he is currently in shape. Injuries have not been a problem for him and he is leading the Madrid defense with great self-confidence. In the first leg against Pep Guardiola's team he did not give Erling Halaand any chance, playing a truly great game.
DFC: NACHO – The Spaniard has alternated some starts and substitutes in recent games, with the possibility of Tchouámeni playing in that position. However, in this match he should start from the start to lead the white team from the defensive zone.
LI: FRAN GARCÍA – As is the case at right back, Carlo Ancelotti could choose to rest Mendy, given his importance in the team, and offer an opportunity to the Spanish full-back, who has not been playing much of a role in recent months in the white discipline.
MC: TCHOUÁMENI – The French midfielder seems like he will recover his natural position in this demanding LaLiga match, especially since he is suspended for the second leg against Manchester City, so he will not be able to play in that duel. The team's balance in that midfield must take a step forward at this decisive moment of the campaign.
MC: MODRIC – Another who could benefit from the Italian coach's possible rotations is the Croatian legend. Kroos seems undisputed in key games, so it is very likely that Modric will start in this match. Good time to show that he still has a lot to contribute in the white discipline.
MD: FEDE VALVERDE – The “little bird” is indisputable in the Italian coach's lineups. In a team as offensive as the white team, a player like this is necessary, with the physical ability to run forwards and backwards, and with determination and courage, which provides great balance to the Madrid midfield.
MI: BELLINGHAM – The English player seems a little out of rhythm after his absences due to suspension in the last duels. Against Manchester City, much more was expected of him, so it could be a good duel for the midfielder to gain confidence with the aim of facing the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals in the best possible conditions.
DC: RODRYGO – The Brazilian showed a great level in the duel against the citizens starting from the left wing. It seems that he is recovering the best version of himself after a time in which his irregularity was criticized, and his contribution will be key at a time of the season in which the white team has a lot at stake.
DC: VINICIUS – The team's main weapon in attack. Although he was not good in front of goal in the Champions League duel, he had a great contribution with two assists, and without a doubt his best version is expected in the second leg against Manchester City, so this match against Mallorca can be a good time to gain confidence and face the next duel full of morale.
This is what the formation would look like (1-4-4-2)
Goalie: Lunin
Defenses: Lucas Vázquez, Rüdiger, Nacho, Mendy
Midfielders: Tchouameni, Modric, Valverde, Bellingham
Fronts: Rodrygo, Vinicius
