Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti Makes 3 Changes to the Starting Eleven Compared to City, a Heavyweight Is Left Out
Ancelotti puts out his best line-up to secure the three points at El Sadar
Real Madrid Is Ready to Face Osasuna This Saturday, a team that won't make it easy.
Carlo Ancelotti Warned in the Pre-Match About the Difficulties They Will Face Against the Navarrese, so he hasn't held anything back.
"We are well, motivated. It's an opportunity to keep maintaining the lead, which is our goal. It's going to be a difficult match, but we came out well from the last match and we have to confirm it. It's a match where everything good we did in the match against Manchester City we have to repeat. We have learned how important sacrifice is, we saw it at Etihad Stadium. We brought it out in an important match. Obviously, we need continuity and tomorrow is going to be a very important test in this regard," expressed the Italian coach in a press conference.
Rodrygo, the Most Notable Absence
Carlo Ancelotti hasn't wanted to make many rotations, despite the return match with Manchester City being just around the corner.
The Coaching Staff Has Added Fran García, Luka Modric, and Brahim Díaz to the 'XI', who will take the places of Ferland Mendy, Dani Ceballos, and Rodrygo Goes.
With these three changes, Real Madrid seeks to renew the team with little, especially due to the wear and tear at Etihad Stadium.
Additionally, Rodrygo has had many physical problems this season, so every rest he can get is always very positive, especially given the great form he is in, both in scoring and in play, and Carlo Ancelotti doesn't want to risk his participation against the Citizens, although no one doubts he will see minutes in the second half against Osasuna.
The One Who Doesn't Rest Is Fede Valverde, Who Will Again Occupy the Right-Back Position, waiting for Lucas Vázquez to fully recover from his muscle problems, as the coaching staff is aware that the Uruguayan needs rest, especially considering he is the footballer who has played the most matches and minutes in the current season.
Real Madrid Lineup
Thibaut Courtois, Fede Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Raúl Asencio, Fran García; Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric, Jude Bellingham; Brahim Díaz, Vinícius Jr., and Kylian Mbappé.
