Squad Updates:




This being the second game of the season and missing the opportunity to win the previous game the game is very important, Madrid need to win this at any cost.

Betis away has been a difficult fixture generally, especially for Madrid, so they have to be extra carefull.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form in the last game and needs to keep the same going.

Marcelo  and Mendy are both available, but Mendy was solid last game and should get the nod ahead this time again. Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs, there is no doubt. Carvajal on the right is also a certainty. So Mendy, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal should start. Defence was solid last game but there were few errors in the last few minutes. So, the defence will have to be very careful especially against a fast attack of Betis.

Modric was really good in the last game, but was unable to create many chances and should be seen as a substitute. So it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Valverde in the middle. Casemiro will be needed to hold off the Betis attack and Valverde to support the attack on the right flank, which was a missing piece in the last game. Ødegaard and Modric will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half. 

The forwards have recovered from injuries but Hazard and Asensio might not get the go ahead to start. So, Vinicius is the only option on the left. Benzema will be the main striker. Rodrygo will start on the right. So Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start, and Jovic, Lucas Vazquez and Asensio should be on the bench.

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

The probable substitutions will be: 

Rodrygo > Asensio
Mendy > Marcelo
Valverde > Ødegaard 
Kroos > Modric
Benzema > Jovic/Mayoral, seems very unlikely though

So the formation would be 4 3 3.


The most probable kit to be used for the Betis game will be the away kit !!!





So the final starting 11 will be:

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.

Real Betis Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

Before going into the next match I will rate the performance of players in the last game vs Barcelona in the El Clasico. Benzema: 5/10, Poor game that has very less involvement, only misses and bad finishes, final third game play was better than previous game but still not up to the mark. Vinicius: 9/10, Became the youngest to score in the El Clasico, had several good plays. The early yellow could have made him a little cautious but played his heart out and recovered 3-4 balls for the team. Isco: 8.5/10, Good game and a few good runs, a great shot at goal which was stopped by the keeper. He was good in distribution as well, could have taken a few more chances but was a bit of communication problem with Marcelo. Kroos: 8/10, Seemed the one to orchestrate the game. Great assist in the first goal and maintained composure throughout the game, even under pressure, coordinated well with attack and defence really well.  Casemiro: 8.5/10, What a game! With an assist or goal he would...

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...
