Possible line-up for Real Madrid vs Milan in the Champions League

Following the suspension of the League match in Mestalla against Valencia, which was supposed to take place last Saturday and which was postponed due to the serious consequences of DANA in cities near the capital Turia, andReal Madrid returns to action on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu, hosting European Cup winners AC Milan.which will host the fourth day of the Champions League. The duel is not without significance as Madrid have already failed once in the previous three days (losing at Lille) and after this day they will have to travel to Liverpool and Bergamo to face Atalanta. It is urgent to win the match, which will collect 22 European Cups, 15 for Madrid and 7 for Milan.

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.
