The night of the year arrives at the Santiago Bernabéu. Carlo Ancelotti’s team faces Arsenal with the tremendous goal of overcoming the three-goal disadvantage that they brought from the suitcase of London.
Of course it will not be an easy task, but everything and everyone at Real Madrid will fight for the common goal: to move to the semifinals, where Luis Enrique’s PSG already awaits them.
For this, the “Blanco” (White) team has its best weapons in attack, a trio that already knows by heart all the “Madridismo” (Real Madrid fanbase) and the world of soccer, and that aspires to be history, composed of Vinicius, Mbappé and Rodrygo, with Bellingham and company acting as a link.
In defense, highlights the long-term absence of Carvajal, one of the pillars of the team, a position that aims to be occupied by Lucas Vázquez, with the doubt and the possibility of being occupied by Valverde, which would leave the Coruña native on the bench to the detriment of a midfielder more, Modric, Ceballos, Brahim or Camavinga.
Predicted lineups
- Real Madrid: Courtois, Lucas Vázquez, Asencio, Rüdiger, Fran García, Valverde, Tchouameni, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vinicius.
- Arsenal: Raya, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Saliba, Timber, Rice, Thomas, Odegaard, Martinelli, Mikel Merino, Saka.
