Ancelotti Issues a Warning for the Match Against City, Leaks Changes in the Starting Eleven

Carlo Ancelotti gave clear hints about his line-up for the decisive match against Manchester City in the Champions League.

The Italian coach analyzed his team's performance and hinted at several changes in the starting eleven to arrive in the best condition at Etihad Stadium.

"Those Who Haven't Played Have an Advantage"

In a press conference, Ancelotti assessed his players' performance and left a key message about the possible changes: "Dani Ceballos's match and if he's ahead of Modric and Camavinga? He played very well, as usual. The whole team contributed. Valverde, the full-backs, the center-backs...".

The coach emphasized the importance of physical recovery and the condition of players who haven't had minutes recently.

"For Tuesday's match, we have to see how the team recovers because it's going to be an intense match. Those who haven't played have an advantage," the Italian assured, leaving open the possibility of rotations in several positions on the field.

Modric and Camavinga, with Chances to Be Starters

Ancelotti's words suggest that Luka Modric and Eduardo Camavinga could enter the starting eleven. Both players have had fewer minutes in recent matches, which would give them more freshness for this crucial duel.

Modric remains a key piece in the midfield for his experience and ability to control the pace of the game, while Camavinga brings versatility and physical presence.

Lucas Vázquez and Dani Ceballos, starters in the last match, could give up their place. Additionally, Federico Valverde could be used as a right-back to strengthen the defense and provide solidity in a match that will require maximum concentration and physical endurance.

This tactical variant would allow Ancelotti to reinforce the midfield without losing dynamism on the wings.

A Match of Maximum Intensity

Real Madrid faces a tough challenge against City. The tie is at stake, and every detail counts. Ancelotti knows he needs his best version to compete at Etihad Stadium against a team that dominates possession and punishes any defensive error.

The coach continues to adjust pieces to find the ideal team. A match of maximum intensity is expected, where tactics and physical freshness will play a decisive role. Madridists trust in their ability to prevail on great European nights.

The debate over the line-up remains open. The mystery will be solved on Tuesday when the ball starts rolling in Manchester and Ancelotti's final decisions in the starting eleven are revealed.
