Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in the Match day 25. The last Real Madrid game was against Atalanta which was a boring play at the beginning but was a hard fought win. Without many key players it was a difficult win.

The team rating for the match against Atalanta can be found here: Team Rating

Right now Real are a depleted side but need to win at any cost so that they are in the title race as the gap is huge considering rivals have a match in hand. 

Earlier the away game was a 0-0 draw. Last season the fixture was a 3-1 win for Madrid.

Looking at the

Injury list:
  1. Rodrygo
  2. Carvajal
  3. Valverde
  4. Ramos
  5. Hazard
  6. Odriozola
  7. Benzema
Suspended:
  1. None

Just recovered:

  1. Marcelo
  2. Militao

Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • Zidane: "It cost us to score a goal, but in the end it is a good result. It's an important goal. We did not have a great game, but the important thing is the result."
Other Comments:
  • Nacho: “We're putting in good performances and we have to recognize that." 
Squad Updates:



This will be the Thirty fourth game of the season and Real have been really inconsistent in their games and results, they have had 20 wins, 5 Draws and 8 losses. In the last several games the performance has dipped and with this ailing squad things are getting complicated as injuries keep piling up.

Real Sociedad is a very attacking team but are a bit shaky in the defence, but Real will need to be careful in all departments.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense pretty well but has not received the same treatment from the team and more so with so many injuries in the defense.

Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is out after surgery and Militao is just back. Nacho should get the nod ahead of all and Varane will start as the center backs. Carvajal is out again so Lucas Vazquez should fill in. So Mendy, Nacho, Varane and Lucas Vazquez should start.

Modric has been great and with Kroos playing well both should start. So, Kroos, Casemiro and Modric should start. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench. 

The forwards have been poor all season, they have been spurning chances in front of the goal. With some improvements in the last games the forwards will try for some continuity but with injuries its complicated. Hazard is out and Vinicius should start on the left. Asensio should start on the Right and with Benzema out and Mariano out of favor Isco should start upfront as false 9. 

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half especially taking into consideration the team's fatigue.

The probable substitutions will be: 

Asensio > Mariano
Modric > Blanco
Isco > Hugo Duro
Vinicius > Arribas
Mendy > Marcelo

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:

Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced:  Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

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...

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...
