After the divisive  draw against Rayo Vallecano at Vallecas stadium, Madrid faces the last competitive week of the month with a final on the way. The visit to the Lusail stadium on December 18th, in just two days, means the arrival of the Intercontinental Cup final.

This is one of the seven titles that they hope to win this season: they already won the first, the European Super Cup, in August. Now they have the opportunity to confirm the second at a very delicate moment at all levels. Especially the competitive one.

There are several debates surrounding Carlo Ancelotti's management. The Italian coach seems to trust the best players in the team without giving space to young prospects, such as Arda Güler or Endrick. The latest to join the list is Raúl Asencio, who offered a great performance last November.

After his last injury this season, the Aurélien Tchouaméni's return has displaced the Spanish number '35' to the bench. This decision by Carlo Ancelotti, seen in recent matches, is confirmed ahead of the Intercontinental Cup final. All the young prospects are in the same situation.

All set

This is what the Real Madrid coach himself confirmed during one of the technical talks prior to this very important match. Arda Güler, Brahim and Raúl Asencio already know that they "will not play" as starters: only the outcome of the match will determine their possible appearance in it.

In this sense, Aurélien Tchouaméni would consolidate himself as a center-back alongside Antonio Rüdiger: the German '22' is having another excellent season. The information from Miguel Ángel Díaz, a journalist from Cadena COPE, would reveal more names of the starting eleven supposedly already outlined by Carlo Ancelotti.

This reporter from the Episcopal radio station reveals that Eduardo Camavinga and Vinícius Jr. will be out of the match against Mexican side Pachuca. The best players in the white team are returning to play for the second title of the season against the backdrop of the League and the Champions League.

Because the narrow victory in Bergamo gives them a chance of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages. The 3-3 draw last Saturday in Vallecas closes the gap on the leaders of the table with one game less to play. Real Madrid depends on itself to succeed this season.
