Update: Lineup of Real Madrid vs Villarreal
We already know the line up (starting 11) of players that will face today Villarreal:
This means that only Rüdiger and Vinicius will get some rest. Poor Endrick and Arda Güler will have to wait for their turn. Also, Modric starts on the bench. The lineup:
———————– Courtois ——————–
L. Vázquez – Tchouameni – Asencio – Fran García
—– Valverde —-Camavinga — Jude Bellingham
Brahim ————– Mbappé ———— Rodrygo
It’s the typical 4-3-3 of Ancelotti, but only when attacking. When defending, they switch to a more defensive 4-4-2, with Brahim helping out in the back.”
Endrick and Brahim with the fans
