RealMadridConfidencial Ancelotti gives 2 'awards' in the penultimate league match, starting eleven against Sevilla
Ancelotti's line-up for today's match in Seville is released and there are surprises
Real Madrid face Sevilla this Sunday at the Sánchez Pizjuán to play matchday 37 of the national league championship. The match takes place at 7:00 PM, a somewhat unusual time that Real Madrid is not accustomed to. Ancelotti's team arrives with many absences for this match.
The merengue team has 10 footballers injured for this game. The following will not be present: Alaba, Asencio, Camavinga, Carvajal, Brahim Díaz, Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo Goes, Antonio Rüdiger, and Vinícius Júnior. Therefore, the Italian coach doesn't have many options.
Carlo Ancelotti has already chosen his starting eleven to face Sevilla. It is: AndriyLunin; Fede Valverde, Jacobo Ramón, Jesús Vallejo, Fran García, Luka Modrić, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Jude Bellingham; Kylian Mbappé, and Endrick.
There will be rotations
It is expected that in the second half he will give some minutes to some youth players, because with the league over, everything is different. Additionally, many of these youngsters will join the first team to play in the Club World Cup. It will be good for them to have some minutes in these last 2 matches to be more prepared and motivated.
It is Carlo Ancelotti's penultimate match on Real Madrid's bench, so it will be a very special day for him. He wants to enjoy it until the last minute, and that is what he will do. The Italian hopes that Madrid fans will always remember him with much affection and gratitude, as he will also do with them.
They have nothing to play for
Despite the rivalry and the hatred that Sevilla have for Real Madrid, it is expected to be a fairly calm match. The only one who does have extra motivation is Kylian Mbappé, who is 2 goals away from winning his first Golden Boot. Although his main goals are collective titles, he would be thrilled to win this award.
For this reason, it is expected that his teammates will help him score and look for him quite a bit during the match. Little by little, Kylian feels more and more like a leader of Real Madrid, and the numbers support him.
