WSG Tirol - Real Madrid, confirmed line-up: this is Xabi Alonso's starting eleven

Courtois, Trent, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras, Tchouaméni, Güler, Ceballos, Brahim, Mbappé, and Vinicius Júnior. This is the starting eleven Xabi Alonso has prepared for its important match against WSG Tirol. Despite being a modest club from the Austrian Bundesliga, Real Madrid will clearly seek victory to end the preseason in the best possible way.

Xabi Alonso has surprised with the starting roles of some players for this match. After the World Cup, the coach keeps trusting Trent despite Carvajal's full recovery. Meanwhile, Carreras will be in charge of the left back position despite the great World Cup Fran García had.

Huijsen will once again start after earning Xabi's trust during the World Cup. However, the surprise has been Militao, who returns to the starting line-up after two seasons affected by serious injuries. Meanwhile, Rodrygo is a notable absence given his current situation in the team.

The last starting eleven of the preseason

Long before this match, Real Madrid has been working hard to prepare for the upcoming season. Playing some friendlies in Valdebebas, these showed certain changes in Xabi Alonso's system. The coach, after reaching the World Cup semifinals, has taken charge of improving every aspect of the team.

Although victory will be sought against WSG Tirol, Xabi Alonso will also carry out several tests. As this is the last match of the preseason, this will be the coach's last chance to experiment. That's why it is expected that, for this match, Xabi will make several changes.

All with a view to its imminent match against Osasuna this coming August 19. Despite its request to postpone this match for one more week, Javier Tebas flatly refused. A controversial stance that sparked much discussion at the time.
