Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Eibar at home in the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium in the match day 29 in the La Liga.  The last Real Madrid game was against Celta which was a good game despite having to defend on several occasions, it was a good win after some dubious decisions. The team rating for the match against  Celta  can be found here:  Team Rating Currently Real are a recovering side, with few regulars out but need to win at any cost to remain in the title race.  Earlier the away game was a 1-3 Win for Real.  Looking at the Injury list: Hazard Suspended : None Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez Ramos Mariano Odriozola Carvajal Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Zidane: "The complete game, we interpret it well. We started well, strong with possession. We have been good with the ball. The first half was spectacular, the penalty was the goal we conceded. Fouls are part of football. Celta are a very good team." O

The upcoming match is against Eibar away from home in the La liga match day 14.  The last Real Madrid game was against Athletic Bilbao which was great result after a tough fight till the end. The team rating for the match against  Athletic  can be found here:  Team Rating This is one of the important league matches of the season as there is no room at the top. Real have no option but to win this. Eibar has not won a single match at home this season (0W,4D,3L). Last year this fixture was a 0-4 Win. Looking at the Injury list: None Suspended : None, Casemiro is back from suspension. Just recovered: Hazard Mariano Jovic Ødegaard Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection.  Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: We should’ve been calmer after Raul Garcia got sent off, we were too hasty, trying to score faster. Other Comments: The squad is almost fully fit. Squad Updates: This will be the Twentieth game of the season and Real have been inconsistent in their performances,

Before going into the next match I will rate the performance of players in the last game vs Real Betis. Benzema: 3/10, Very poor game, even with a goal scored from penalty his rating is at 3 speaks a lot about his game, with any other coach he would not even make the squad, his performance was that bad. His wrong and sloppy pass led to the goal and the defeat.  Vinicius: 7/10, Was not great but seemed like creating chances and working hard to provide some options. Though his usual hunger was missing to be fair, he could do much better. Lucas Vazquez: 4/10, Very poor performance, tried so many crosses not even a single good one, fullbacks will cross better than him. He should have been taken off at half time but ZZ played him full 90 mins.  Kroos: 5/10, Seemed the one to orchestrate the game but was not able to create chances and was off in his passing as well. Gave away balls in wrong positions and too many times.  Casemiro: 6/10, What a downgrade from last game, seemed like his

The upcoming match is against Eibar away from home, currently they are at 14th and Real are at 2nd on the leader-board. With a draw in the last match  Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. Standings First I would like to see the  Injury list : Asensio Nacho Suspended : 1.       None  Just recovered: Lucas Vazquez James Bale Practiced:  Bale, James and Marcelo are not training with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo might have a small injury and might miss. Carvajal: Commenting that no one doubts the commitment of Bale and James, he would also leave early during matches if not playing, it doesn't mean any less commitment. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all team neck to neck. With Marcelo being slightly injured Mendy, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with the great work ov
