Ancelotti once again bets on Vinicius and Rodrygo to lead the white team’s attack
Camavinga, who retired early in yesterday’s training, starts as a starter in the engine room
Real Madrid plays the third day of the group stage of the Champions League against Braga tonight, starting at 9:00 p.m. Carlo Ancelotti’s men will seek to extend their record of victories in the top European club competition, after beating Unión Berlin 1-0 and Napoli 2-3.
Carlo Ancelotti has put together a guaranteed starting eleven, but with rotations to face the Portuguese team. To the already known absences due to injury of Courtois and Militao, Camavinga has not ended up being added, who will be the starter despite having retired early from training on Monday due to muscle discomfort
Thus, the Italian coach bets on Vinicius and Rodrygo in the attack; leaving footballers of the stature of Alaba, Kroos, Joselu or Tchouameni on the bench. We must not forget that Real Madrid will visit the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Montjuïc this Saturday starting at 4:15 p.m. to face Barça in the League classic.
So, this is Real Madrid’s lineup to face Braga at home: Kepa; Carvajal, Rüdiger, Nacho, Fran García; Camavinga, Valverde, Modric, Bellingham; Vinicius and Rodrygo.
