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

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.

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.

Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. 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 good outing in the last match after a hard fought win 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 was announced as the winner of the La liga player of the month. He had several good games in the past, things look definitely very positive for Courtois and Real Madrid.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy will start on the left and might force an yellow card to make himself available for the el clasico and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form and will try to avoid any errors leading to the goals.

All the five super mid-fielders are doing great, Modric, Kroos, Valverde, Isco and Casemiro. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ. Last game Isco came on top of all and had a brilliant outing, at the same time Kroos had been rested. Taking the past game's rigor and current fitness level into considerations it is going to be Valverde, Casemiro and Kroos in the middle. Isco and Modric will be on the bench.

As Asensio has been injured and Hazard has just recovered, both would not start. After several changes and returns it will be Benzema, Vinicius and Bale to start. And Hazard, Jovic and Rodrygo should be on the bench. Hazard will be used for 15 to 20 minutes. BBH might get to play together after a long time.

So the formation would be 4 3 3, with Bale and Vinicius on the wings behind Benzema.

So the final starting 11 will be:

The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...

Real Madrid Vs Real Betis: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Betis at home, currently they are at 16th on the leader-board, where as Real is 2nd with a game in hand. They would like to continue the momentum they had picked mid-week against Leganes. They have had a very bad start but have won the last league match to boost their confidence. Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the Injury list : Asensio Nacho Bale Suspended : 1. None Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez Mendy Practiced: All except the injured lot and James, who went to Colombia due to birth of his baby. Skipped Practice: James Coach Comments: Zidane : "I don't have a 'Plan A' or a 'Plan B'," he said when asked about his starting XI. "Every three days I have to leave out quality players. I count on everyone. "It's something that bothers me a lot. I try to choose my best players, but I c...

RCD Mallorca Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Mallorca and away from home, currently they are 18th on the leader-board in the league and Madrid are at the top. They have won 2 matches in the league and one of them is the last match. First I would like to see the Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Modric Bale Suspended : 1. None Just recovered: Isco Nacho Marcelo Courtois Kroos Raphael Varane Valverde Mend Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Zidane : Zidane: "Modric, Bale, Kroos and Lucas are not available." As Mendy, Nacho and Marcelo are all recovered from injury the left back position is going to be a puzzle. Varane has recovered from injury but might get rested for champions league game mid week. Ramos has also rested with Spain so should start. And Carvajal might get some rest after playing with Spain, and looking at the...
