Osasuna vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11


The upcoming match is against Osasuna away from in the La liga match day 23. Osasuna are 11th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to return back to winning ways 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:
  1. Asensio
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.

There were few players out with flu like Casemiro, Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez.

Suspended:
  1. None
Just recovered:
  1. Bale and Hazard
Both have started practicing with the team but still a doubt to play as starters.

Practiced:

Asensio is on his recovery process. Others are practicing with the team.

Skipped Practice:

None

Coach Comments:
  • None.
Other Comments:
  • This is a crucial game and the team had a very bad outing in the last match and need to improve to keep the spirits high.
Squad Updates:



This is a crucial game for the La liga title race.

In the goal Courtois will start and will start fresh after the rest during the Copa del Rey game, he had several good games in the past, things look definitely very positive for Courtois and Real Madrid. Areola was very poor in the goal during the Copa del Rey game and was one of the week links but with Courtois back things should be better.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy will start on the left after the rest during the last game and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form except the poor outing in the last game. Though the whole defence will be changed, Marcelo and Nacho were very poor last time out and with the changes it is expected to prevent the usual errors those have led to the goals in the past games.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Modric, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. James and Valverde will be on the bench. And Isco will start in the attack.

As Asensio has been injured, Bale and Hazard have just recovered, both would not start. After several injuries and returns it will be Benzema, Vazquez and Isco to start. And Bale, Jovic and Vinicius should be on the bench. 


So the formation would be 4 3 2 1, with Isco and Vazquez behind Benzema.

So the final starting 11 will be:

PSG Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11 Post Match

The team started with the predicted starting 11, and as believed it was the best option available. Even the subs were as expected, only James went out instead of Benzema as there were requirement of 2 goals. The analysis is fairly simple, Real were poor in every department, attack, mid-field, defence and goal keeping. They started well in the first few minutes, controlling ball and moving forward. In my opinion PSG were more confident and got luck with the first goal, the break was there but both defence and goal keeper should have done better. Even after the 14th minute goal team was fine, seemed deflated a bit but were still creating chances but not able to shoot on the target. Forwards were getting frustrated, mid-field was slowing down and getting tired, but once the 2nd goal happened in the 33rd minute the team just lost hope. And this goal was because defence just gave enough space, the marking was not off, but the pressing was too poor. Clear indication f...
