With the squad rested after ten days without playing and almost injury-free (only Courtois remains, likely to return against Osasuna, Carvajal and Alaba; the Austrian is not expected until 2025), Ancelotti will be able to form with his (almost) gala eleven. Although there is one doubt about this eleven: Modric and Camavinga. Tchouameni, Valverde and Bellingham are anchored in midfield. And that fourth midfield spot remains between the Croatian, who has better contact but is less physical given his age (39), and the Frenchman, who drives quickly but without as much pause. And in this match, everything points to Modric being Carletto’s choice as he was a substitute in the Clasico and Madrid are struggling to dominate the ball after Kroos left. Modric is the closest player to him in the squad, and against Milan everything points to the Balkans getting underway.

In goal, without Courtois, Lunin will form again, who left many doubts against Barça and will have the opportunity to justify himself in the competition, the Champions League, which last year gave him the greatest joy after performances against Leipzig and City. both are away from home. And in defense there are a few experiments: Lucas Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger and Mendy. Considering the four midfielders already mentioned, the attack will once again consist of Mbappe and Vinicius.. The Frenchman arrives after the criticism he has accumulated for his poor performance in the Classics; the Brazilian, inspired by the fact that he did not win the Ballon d’Or, which made him angry, which he did not hide.

Thus, Madrid’s eleven players against Milan will be: Lunin; Lucas Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Chuameni, Valverde, Modric, Bellingham; Mbappe and Vinicius.
