Carlo Ancelotti and Xavi revealed his starting 11 before the Spanish Cup semi-final first leg between Real and Barça this Thursday at Santiago-Bernabeu.
Two French in the 11 of Real. Carlo Ancelotti indeed aligns Karim Benzema and Eduardo Camavinga from the start to face Barça this Thursday (9 p.m., live commentary), in the first leg of the King’s Cup semi-final. Back against Atlético (1-1) last weekend, in the league, Aurélien Tchouaméni will start on the bench. Note that Nacho Fernandez takes the place of David Alaba behind, while Federico Valverde relegates Rodrygo to the bench. On the Barça side, without Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembélé or Pedri, Jules Koundé holds behind.
Recall that Osasuna disposed of Athletic Bilbao (1-0) on Wednesday evening, during the first semi-final first leg. Barça will not receive their Madrid rival for the second leg until April 5.
