Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti's Change Against Atalanta that May Determine Real Madrid's Game
Ancelotti may surprise in the crucial Champions League game with a very important change
Real Madrid has no more room for error in the Champions League and can't drop points in any game. That will take place on Tuesday, when they will have the most difficult test of what is left. It will be visiting Atalanta at their stadium, which will not be an easy task.
The Italians arrive as one of the most in-form teams in the old continent, fifth in the standings. Therefore, Ancelotti will go all out and is expected to make a significant change in the eleven. After resting against Girona, Asencio will return as first team player.
The young player had played all the games since Militão was injured in the game against Osasuna. Carletto said that it would be difficult to get him to play at the level he was playing, despite the return of Tchouaméni. But last Saturday he opted for the Frenchman alongside Rüdiger at the heart of defense.
It seemed a move aimed at stopping the Canary, who could be fresher this Tuesday against Atalanta. As we said, everything indicates that the player would start in the crucial Champions League game. But Tchouaméni isn't going to the bench, but will act as a defensive midfielder.
A lineup with several changes is expected at Real Madrid
Asencio's return to the starting eleven is one of the changes expected at Real Madrid, but it wouldn't be the only one. Vinícius has also brought forward his recovery from injury. He is available and, barring any surprises, is expected to enter the starting lineup directly.
With the Brazilian available, it also seems that the 4-3-3 could return if Rodrygo is chosen. The former Santos player was another of the absentees against Girona, due to muscle discomfort. Another new addition who could be included in Ancelotti's starting eleven against Atalanta.
That means there will be some sacrifices, and unless there's anything new, Arda Güler or Brahim will be the ones who will return to the bench. Modric too, since together with Tchouaméni, a midfield with Bellingham and Fede Valverde is expected. As long as there are no surprises.
