Other Comments:

• Overall team play was weak and were not able to convert many chances nor were able to create many. The team needs to step up against a good team.

Squad Updates:

This is a crucial game for the league title as the margin is just 2 points and several difficult games lined up for both teams, Real has to be very careful in selecting the team and go full throttle to get the 3 points.  

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form and needs to keep this up.

Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs, though Ramos needs some rest but this game would be very tough and needs his mentor-ship on the field. Mendy was not available last game and will be fresh to start.So, Mendy will start on the left and will provide better defensive option and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has been in good form but there were few errors which went unpunished in the last game. So, the defence will have to be very careful.

All the mid-fielders are available now, Modric is fresh and available after the game off last time due to suspension. And he should start, so it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Modric in the middle. Valverde, Isco and James will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half. With matches coming thick and fast these substitutions will be key to maintaining the fitness and avoid fatigue.

As forwards have in good shape but still not converted many chances, it is going to be a difficult decision for ZZ. Vinicius was rested last game and will be fresh to start, and with Hazard seeming a bit tired needs a short break. So Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start, and Mariano, Bale and Asensio should be on the bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotation in the second half.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Rodrygo > Asensio

Vinicius > Hazard

Modric > James

Kroos > Isco

Casemiro > Valverde

Benzema > Mariano/Bale

Ramos > Militao

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

So the final starting 11 will be:

The upcoming match is against Espanyol away from home in the La liga match day 32. Espanyol are 20th on the leader-board and Real are 1st and with equal points with Barcelona on the league table. This game is one of the most important game to have any chance in the league, Madrid can not take any risks at all and have to win at any cost if they want to remain in contention, more so with football coming back after a break.

Squad Updates:

This is a very crucial game for the league title as with no point difference it is still under sight but very tight, it can only get wider if we play well and wait for Barcelona's mistakes. This is one of the slightly easy games after which there will be several tough ones, but know Zidane he will rotate his team to keep them fresh and sharp.

In the goal Courtois will start, should be a no-brainer.

Militao and Varane will start as the center backs, as Ramos needs some rest. Mendy is not available due to suspension so Marcelo will start on the left and will provide better defensive option and Carvajal will start on the right. So Marcelo, Militao, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has to be particularly alert, there has been occasional lapses causing goals, more so when Ramos is not their.

All the mid-fielders except Modric, who misses out due suspension are available but all are not sharp on most days. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ to pick the three. There has been lack of any consistency in the last few games but looking at the next game, it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Isco in the middle. Valverde and James will be on the bench. With matches coming thick and fast these substitutions will be key to maintaining the fitness.

As forwards have been sharp but their are several options available of ZZ, it is a real headache, whom to start. Vinicius was great but needs rest, so it should also be a tough decision to start him. Ideally it should be HBR, Hazard, Benzema and Rodrygo, and Vinicius, Bale and Asensio should be on the bench.

As now 5 substitutions are available, this is a great time to rotate the squad for ZZ.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Rodrygo > Asensio

Hazard > Vinicius

Isco > James

Kroos > Valverde

Benzema > Mariano/Bale

Militao > Ramos

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

So the final starting 11 will be:

In the goal Courtois will start, should be a no-brainer.

Militao and Varane will start as the center backs, as Ramos had a muscle injury and needs some rest. Mendy will start on the left and will provide better defensive option and Carvajal will start on the right. So Mendy, Militao, Varane and Carvajal should start. Defence has to be particularly alert, there has been occasional lapses causing goals.

All the mid-fielders all are available but all are not dependable on most days, too much problem in consistency. It is a very difficult decision for ZZ to pick the three. There has been lack of any consistency in the last few games but looking at the next game, it is going to be Modric, Casemiro and James in the middle. Valverde, Isco and Kroos will be on the bench. With matches coming thick and fast these substitutions will be key to fitness.

Edit: With no Casemiro in the Squad, Valverde starts in his position.

As Hazard rested the whole game, there is some concern regarding his fitness. So it should also be a tough decision to start him. Ideally it should be HBR again, but with the injuries it would be Vinicius, Benzema and Bale. And Hazard, Rodrygo and Asensio should be on the bench.

As now 5 substitutions are available, this is a great time to rotate the squad for ZZ.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Bale > Asensio

Vinicius > Hazard

Mendy > Marcelo

Real Madrid Vs Valencia: The Starting 11

Before going into the next match I will rate the performance of players in the last game vs Eibar.

1. Benzema: 8/10, A complete game without the goal, very nice control and link up play. This was the kind of display everyone expects of him, if he is not scoring. 
2. Rodrygo: 6.5/10, The runs and link up play was great, should create more space but nothing to complain as such, far better option than Bale at the moment.
3. Hazard: 8/10, Very elegant performance, tried to create more but first game after the return was good in so many ways. If he continues like this he will be a genuine goal threat and would draw at least two defenders away. One assist was to show but should have been more. 
4. Kroos: 8.5/10, Score early with a perfect shot. Seemed the one to orchestrate the game along with the midfield partners.  
5. Casemiro: 7.5/10, Was forceful in the play and left his mark without much struggle .
6. Modric: 7.5/10, Good game and a lot of lungs in the first half. Second half was bad but overall play was not bad.
7. Marcelo: 7.5/10, Did okay defensively but the goal was nice. Had good coordination with Ramos on most occasions. 
8. Ramos: 8.5/10, Was solid defensively and went ahead to score a great counter attacking goal.
9. Varane: 7.5/10, Was solid and prevented several chances.
10. Carvajal: 7/10, He did his bit, solid defensively and good going forward.
11. Courtois: 8/10, Overall good performance, goal was a deflection, little could be done about it. Otherwise very good outing.
12. Militao: 6.5/10, defensively not as good as Ramos but was effective.
13. Valverde: 6.5/10, Did very less after the substitution. 
14. Mendy: 6.5/10, Came in the 2nd half but was fine while playing out of position. Second half play in general was bad and he could not do anything to improve it.
15. Vinicius: 6/10, Tried to play his heart out, but did not get enough support.
16. Bale: 3.5/10, He seemed lacking confidence and did not even try hard enough.
17. ZZ: 7.5/10, Good decisions throughout, playing Mendy on the right was difficult but given the team was 3-0 up in the first half eased his decisions.
