Real Madrid has shown a character to respond to a champions league outing to stay in the title of La Liga, even if they were helped by a weakened sports club outfit.
Sunday evening, the exceptional late winner of Federico Valverde means that the Madrid deficit for Barcelona leaders is still four points, but another delicate test awaits the champions on Wednesday evening when they visit Getafe.
With the Copa Del Rey final, Carlo Ancelotti will necessarily be using his team in the middle of the week, and the Colosseum will be desperate to see Jose Bordalas’ physical outfit upset the hopes of the title.
Los Blancos hopes that the magic of Mallorca against Barcelona against Barcelona embraces his hopes in Getafe, and here is the starting program that Ancelotti could deploy under the lights.
GK: Thibaut Courtois – Andriy Lunin is back in the running for visitors, and the Ukrainian hopes to start in the final on Saturday. Courtois is expected to continue in Liga XI on Wednesday.
RB: Lucas Vazquez – The veteran defender was sufficiently reliable this term, playing a more sporadic role during the second half of the season.
CB: RAUL ASENCIO – Ancelotti is required to mix its central match before the final, but the young Asencio is likely to keep his place.
CB: David Alaba – Alaba’s outings against Arsenal have proven that he was much better at the central defender when he entered the twilight of his career. The Austrian is in the running to replace Antonio Rudiger on Wednesday. The German has played a lot of football lately and will probably be preserved for the final.
LB: Fran Garcia – Ancelotti recently used Alaba and Eduardo Camavonga on the left in the absence of Ferland Mendy. Garcia usually presented the bench, but he could find himself in the XI before Mendy’s return.
CM: Eduardo Camavonga – Camavanta still has work to do if he has to play himself in the final of the Copa del Rey. The French midfielder, who started in defense on Sunday, should have the possibility of impressing from the start in Getafe.
CM: Dani Ceballos – The Spanish ruse and the ability to keep possession are practical assets in the middle of the park, although Getafe can grasp a lack of suspected physics.
CM: Federico Valverde – If Ancelotti chooses to rest Aurelien Tchouame, the winner of the Sunday match is a necessary addition to the machine room. His best football during the second half of the season arrived at the right back.
AM: Brahim Diaz – Brahim was a practical team player for Madrid this term, and he will surely be embarking on the middle of the week. Jude Bellingham could be wrapped in cotton for the final.
St: Rodrygo – The latest reports in Spain suggest that the Brazilian could be put on the bench on Saturday, so it was a big match for Rodrygo, who has struggled to contribute in recent weeks.
St: Endrick – Kylian Mbappe can come back from the suspension, but the Frenchman will not be risky due to the ankle injury he reproached last week. If Vinicius Junior, who was brilliant on Sunday, falls on the bench, expect Endrick to win a rare start of the Liga.
