Real Madrid Confidencial Confirmed Line-up of Real Madrid for El Clásico against Barcelona
Ancelotti hasn't surprised anyone and has gone with the eleven players who are first team players at this moment
Real Madrid already has its starting eleven to face FC Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup final. The game, scheduled for 8 p.m., promises strong emotions in a classic duel of world soccer.
Carlo Ancelotti has opted for a team without surprises. Thibaut Courtois will be responsible for guarding the Madrid goal.
In defense, Lucas Vázquez will occupy the right wing position, while Ferland Mendy will be on the left. The central defender pair will consist of Aurélien Tchouaméni and Antonio Rüdiger.
In midfield, Eduardo Camavinga will be the defensive pivot. Ahead, Fede Valverde and Jude Bellingham will lead the offensive actions. The Englishman will take on the role of attacking midfielder, while the Uruguayan will handle mixed duties, providing balance to the team.
In attack, the trio will be composed of Rodrygo Goes, Vinícius, and Kylian Mbappé. Rodrygo will play on the right, Vinícius on the left, and Mbappé will be the center forward. However, a lot of movement is expected among the three, complicating the blaugrana defense.
A key game for Real Madrid
Real Madrid seeks to win its third title of the season after winning the Spanish Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. Additionally, this Clásico has a special component. The white team wants to make up for the painful 0-4 defeat suffered at Bernabéu last season.
Barça, for its part, arrives with the ambition to stop Real Madrid's positive streak and add another title to its record. This clash promises to be one of the most contested in recent times.
Ancelotti's strategy
The Italian coach has opted for a balanced scheme, combining defensive solidity with dynamism in attack. Bellingham's role as an attacking midfielder will be key to connecting with the forwards and continuing to add to his stats from the second line. In parallel, Valverde will offer support both in defense and attack.
Meanwhile, the speed of Vinícius and Rodrygo, combined with Mbappé's scoring ability, will be a constant threat to the culé defense.
The Clásico will not only define a title but also mark a new chapter in the historic rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Everything is set for an unforgettable spectacle.
