The upcoming match against Inter Milan is an away game in the Champions league match day 4. The last Real Madrid game was against Villareal which was a okay performance after a rough patch. This was respite draw after several disastrous injuries.

This is the fourth game of the group stage and Real have no option but to win this for their fans and for themselves and to keep their chance of progression alive.

Looking at the

  4. Casemiro
  5. Militao

Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • The team deserved to win 3 points in the last game.
Other Comments:
  • With Carvajal back he is certain to start.

Squad Updates:




This will be the fourth game of the Champions league season and Real had one okay performance after two poor performances just before this match and with several players missing due to injury. Forwards are still mis-firing, defence is recovering from the disarray, and mid field is now looking better. This game is very important and would decide the chances of progressing to next round. Madrid needs to win this at any cost.

Inter has a pacy attack and their counters are good. So, Real will have to be very careful.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been poor in the last few games, his errors have cost few points but he should be able to recover with a better defensive unit. 

Mendy has to start on the left as Marcelo is no longer an option. Carvajal will start on the right and  Militao and Varane will start as the center backs, as Ramos is injured. So Mendy, Varane, Militao and Carvajal should start. Defence has been poor but signs are positive and recovery seems to be happening.

Modric has been good but his fitness is a bit of worry so should be seen as a substitute in this game after his full 90 mins in the previous match. Real needs to get the control back in the mid field. Casemiro was not great in all the previous games, he needs to improve more. Kroos, Casemiro and Ødegaard will start. And Modric and Isco will start from the bench.

The forwards have been mis-firing even now, Benzema has returned to goal scoring form but his progress was halted by injury. Vinicius was not in any sync last game and Hazard should start again. With the lack of options it will be Asensio on the right. So  Hazard, Benzema and Asensio  should form the front line.

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

The probable substitutions will be: 

Hazard > Vinicius
Ødegaard > Isco
Asensio > Rodrygo
Kroos > Modric
Benzema > Mariano, seems very unlikely though

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

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





So the final starting 11 will be:

Nacho for Militao
Mariano for Benzema

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...
