Getafe Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Getafe away from home in the Coliseum Alfonso Perez in the La Liga match day 33. The last Real Madrid game was against Liverpool which was a good defensive game with several regulars unavailable, it was a good draw.

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

Currently Real are a recovering side, with few regulars out but need to win at any cost to be alive in the title race. 

Earlier the home game was a 2-0 Win for Real. 

Looking at the

Injury list:
  1. Ramos
  2. Lucas Vazquez
Suspended:
  1. Nacho
  2. Casemiro

Just recovered:

  1. Valverde
  2. Varane
  3. Odriozola
  4. Hazard
  5. Carvajal

Practiced:

The rest of the players are available for selection. 

Skipped Practice:
  • None
Coach Comments:
  • Zidane: "We have known how to suffer. It was normal in a quarter-final match. We deserved to go round, but we knew we were going to suffer. We controlled the game well, we have been supportive and I am happy for the boys." 
Other Comments:
  • Ferland Mendy: "We came here to win but we drew and qualified, so we're happy." 
Squad Updates:



This will be the Forty third game of the season and Real have been inconsistent in the matches and so has been the results, they have had 26 wins, 8 Draws and 8 losses. In the last few games except the last three, the performance has been poor especially in attack and with this ailing team it is not making the run any easier.

Getafe is an attacking side and are good in the defense, so Real will need to be careful in both departments and be ready for their counters.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form. He has supported the defense very well but has not received the same support back from the team and more so with so many changes owing to the injuries in defense.

Mendy should start on the left. As Ramos is out injured and Nacho is suspended Militao and Varane should start, it is expected that Varane will recover from COVID. Carvajal is now back and might play. So Mendy, Varane, Militao and Odriozola should start. Carvajal, Marcelo and Chust should be available as substitutes.

Modric has been a bit off pace in the last few games but was in control and the performance in the last few games have been great. Same goes with Kroos, who has been exceptional. So, Kroos and Modric should start. As Casemiro is suspended due to Red card, he will be replaced by Valverde. Isco, Arribas and Blanco should start from the bench. 

The forwards have been poor all season except, they have been wasting many chances in front of the goal.  Hazard is possibly back but might not start and Vinicius should start on the left, being good in the last three games. With Asensio playing well, he should get his chance ahead of Rodrygo. And Benzema should start upfront.  

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

The probable substitutions will be: 

Vinicius > Hazard
Modric > Isco
Asensio > Rodrygo
Kroos > Marcelo
Benzema > Mariano

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:

Varane OUT <> Chust IN
Mendy OUT <> Marcelo IN

The Starting 11: Best team for the first quarter Real Madrid

Real Madrid have completed 9 matches in the La liga, which is approximately 25% of the campaign. And they have played 3 matches in Champion's league which has a maximum of 13 matches to win it. Effectively 25% of the season is over. The standings are as follows, 2nd in the league behind Barcelona, having played most of the top teams except Barcelona. If they continue the same momentum they have a good chance in the league, and just to point they have done so with several injuries. Real has lost just one match but overall performance needs improvement So the future seems bright, the team needs more consistency in defence and goal keeping. In the champion's league they are second behind PSG, who have a 100% win record. One desperate win, one tough draw and a bad loss, the shape of the team is not great. They will qualify it seems but given the easy group, things are not smooth for sure. But going ahead their solid performance is what is required. In the competitio...
