Real Madrid's Confirmed Lineup for the Derby Against Atlético

Today at 9:00 p.m., Spanish time, Real Madrid plays the classic of the capital of Spain. Real Madrid - Atlético de Madrid.

Now, Ancelotti has already made Real Madrid's starting eleven official.

Real Madrid's Starting Eleven for This classic

These are the eleven players who will start the match today: Courtois; Lucas, Tchouaméni, Asencio, Fran; Ceballos, Valverde, Bellingham; Vinícius, Rodrygo, and Mbappé.

As we can see, it's a very recognizable eleven, and we could say it's Carletto's 'typical eleven' right now with the absences he has.

Ancelotti Said This Yesterday in the Pre-Match Press Conference

The team's coach commented this yesterday:

"It's a very important match for two teams trying to win the League. The classic is a special match, as always. Atlético is strong, and it will be a close match."

"There's nothing new in the pre-match. The opponent has all the quality needed to fight for this competition, just like us.”

He also added:  "It's a tough match, but these are the matches we like to be in. There's a lot of pressure, but it's a match everyone will watch."

"It will be very competitive and a soccer spectacle in which we are the protagonists. We have to suffer and fight with the team. These are the matches to celebrate or suffer a little when they end.”

Mbappé Talked About His First classic

Mbappé said this about the match:

"It's going to be a great match, and it's very important. It's the first time I'm going to play this match. I'm eager to play and help the team, and I hope we win.”

"I always intend to play to win. It's sure to be a very important match for us and all Madridists."

"The goal is always the same, to win. Especially when we play against Atlético with the situation we have in the League, as they are close to us. We have to win, and we're going to do everything to win.”
