Real Madrid Vs Atletico Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Atletico Madrid at a neutral stadium in Saudi Arabia which is the Final of the Supercopa. Being the first final of the season this is very crucial, Madrid is not going to take any risks this time.


First I would like to see the 

Injury list:
  1. Asensio
  2. Hazard
  3. Bale
  4. Benzema
Suspended:

1. None 

Just recovered:
  1. James
  2. Marcelo
  3. Lucas Vazquez
Practiced:

Asensio and Hazard continue with their recovery processes. Bale and Benzema have not traveled to Saudi Arabia for the tournament and should not feature in the final.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • Nothing specific
Other Comments:
    • Bale and Benzema are not traveling.
    Squad Updates:



    This is a crucial game for the Supercopa title, and it is a knockout game. Ramos is now available ,so Ramos and Varane should be seen in the starting 11 and as Marcelo had a muscular injury and just returned he was a bit scrappy and should not make into the starting line up.  So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start. Defence has been good and expected to prevent the occasional errors those have led to the goals.


    In the goal Courtois will start, having got a few good games in the past, things look definitely very positive.

    All the four super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde and Casemiro. And now Isco is added to that, there are 5 options for available as starters. So, it is going to be Casemiro, Kroos and Valverde in the middle. And Modric and Isco will start on the flanks like they did in the Semi-final.

    Isco will be seen as a starter on the attacking trident on the left flank instead of the mid field and Modric will start on the right.

    As Hazard, Bale and Benzema have been injured Jovic, Vinicius and Rodrygo are the go to options. So, Isco, Jovic and Modric should start in absence of Bale and Benzema. And will have Mariano, Vinicius, James and Rodrygo as substitutes depending on the work rate of others.

    So the final starting 11 will be:

    Alaves Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Alaves away from home in the La liga match day 20.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alcoyano which was a shameful result after a pathetic display in midfield but as always there were several opportunities wasted by the forwards.  The team rating for the match against  Alcoyano  can be found here:  Team Rating From now on all games are like do or die as there is already a huge gap at the top. Real have no option but to win this fixture at any cost.  Last year this fixture was a 1-2 Win but we have already lost to Alaves this season at home 2-1.

    The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced:  Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

    Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24.  Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow,  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. Looking at the  Injury list: Asensio Mariano James Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team. Suspended : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension. Just recovered: Hazard He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter. Practiced: Asensio is on his recovery process.

    PSG Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

    The upcoming match is against the PSG in Paris, they too have several injury and form worries themselves. Current Squad Declared with Uefa: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2020/clubs/club=50051/squad/ (Source: Uefa.com) First I would like to see the  injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Marcelo Suspended : Ramos  Nacho Just recovered: Jovic  James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to start " BBH Sounds good" Benzema to be the leader without Ramos and Marcelo. So the line up seems Hazard to start on the left but will have a backup in Vinicius. With Bale getting rest in la liga is certain to start on the right and switch to left time to time. James has been playing well and with most of the other mid fielders injures is certain to play behind Benzema. Kroos and Casemiro will control the game in the mid. With the suspens...
