Possible alignment of Real Madrid today against Villarreal in LaLiga

A match between the wars, a meeting paid for rotations. Madrid returns to the League after its ecstatic night at Camp Nou that gave him the pass to the final of the Cup and with his mind set on the Champions League tie against Chelsea. Two competitions that can give the whites two titles in the little more than two months remaining in the season in contrast to a League where the 12-point advantage that Barça manages from the lead seems insurmountable.

The match against Villarreal this Saturday (9:00 p.m., Movistar + LaLiga TV) is presented, therefore, as an opportunity for Ancelotti to manage efforts in his squad and give rest to some of the Camp Nou heroes and minutes to those who did not start. The Italian technician can touch up the defense and the center of the field almost completely. At the rear he aspires to repeat Alaba, but with three other teammates: Lucas Vázquez, Rüdiger and Nacho, whom Ancelotti recovers in the League after serving a suspension against Valladolid.

In midfield Kroos and Modric can rest, like Camavinga, and give up their place to Tchouameni and Ceballos to play alongside Valverde. The Uruguayan is, after Vinicius, the second Real Madrid player with the most minutes this season. In attack, the ‘untouchables’ Benzema and Vinicius may once again be accompanied by Asensio, after the great match that the Spaniard had against Valladolid.

Possible eleven of Carlo Ancelotti for Real Madrid-Villarreal in the League

With the only loss of Mendy due to injury, the possible eleven that Carlo Ancelotti can start to line up to receive Villarreal, is made up of: Courtois; Lucas Vazquez, Rudiger, Alaba, Nacho; Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos; Asensio, Benzema and Vinicius. On the bench, for possible substitutions, will be: Lunin, Luis López, Carvajal, Odriozola, Militao, Vallejo, Camavinga, Kroos, Modric, Hazard, Rodrygo and Mariano.

Carvajal, Camavinga and Ceballos are warned and they will miss the game on Saturday the 15th in Cádiz if they see the yellow card against Villarreal.
