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:

First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Suspended : Bale (Red card) Just recovered: Jovic  James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot, Casemiro, Militao and Vinicius had just one practice session. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to play but need to be careful Vinicius has his confidence, but need to mature So the line up seems Hazard to start but will play for 60 mins or so, and will be replaced by Vinicius. With Bale not available the right wing should be owned by Vinicius, but as there are other injury worries Vinicius will only be used as a substitute and Lucas Vazquez will start in th...

Shaktar Donetsk Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match against Shaktar Donetsk is an away game in the Champions league match day 5.  The last Real Madrid game was against Alaves which was the worst performance of the season. This was pathetic display in every department leading to a dismal loss. It was the 1st home defeat to Alaves in 20 years, says volumes about the teams display. The team had 20 shots, of which 9 were on target and only 1 goal which meant the intensity in attack was totally missing. The team rating for the match against Alaves can be found here:  Team Rating This is the fifth 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.

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. Just recovered: Hazard He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter. Practiced: 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...

Sevilla Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against the Sevilla away from home, currently they were on the top of the leader-board and Madrid on 3rd. First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Marcelo Suspended : None Just recovered: Valverde Practiced: All except the injured lot. And except Asensio others on the injury list trained on their own which means they too are ready to comeback in the next week. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: No comments on players but seems Odriozola might start. So it seems the line up with PSG will remain with Ramos returning for Militao, and Odriozola replacing Carvajal, as he seems out of gas and needs the much needed rest. But knowing Zidane he might as well start Carvajal seeing the crucial nature of the game. So  the line up seems Hazard to start on the left but will have a backup in Vinicius. It could as well be other way around, where Vinicius starts and Hazard replaces him, as that will give the tea...
