Madrid’s Rotations: Ancelotti’s Debuting Team for Champions League Opener

There are already eleven from Madrid! Ancelotti’s men are making their debut in the Champions League and given the demands of the upcoming calendar, the Italian makes rotations. The forced absence of Carvajal due to an overload gives Lucas entry to the right side. Nacho, who had not yet debuted this season, Modric and Camavinga are also in the game. Carletto knows that it is vital to get off to a good start in a competition like the Champions League, but also that from now on, when midweek matches are going to be a constant, minute management is going to take on vital importance. For the one from Reggiolo, it will be essential to keep everyone plugged in and to do so, he must begin to share the spotlight.

With this objective, the aforementioned Lucas will be accompanied by Nacho, who joins the team in place of Alaba, so that the Austrian forms the left-handed side. Rüdiger completes the central pair, so the team’s roadrunner, Fran García, remains on the bench after his two assists against Real. The engine room will once again have Tchouaméni as the broom car and in the interiors Camavinga will provide muscle and Modric will provide judgment. Both the Croatian and the Frenchman return to the starting team after being substitutes on Sunday.

In front, Bellingham acts as a hinge and at the top, Joselu and Rodrygo repeat to contribute a goal to the team. With the Spaniard on a roll (two goals in his last two games in white), Ancelotti has chosen to give him continuity. Also for the Brazilian, who will look to break his bad streak in white against the German team (he hasn’t scored since the first day against Athletic Club). Thus, Madrid’s starting eleven is the one formed by Kepa; Lucas, Rüdiger, Nacho, Alaba; Modric, Tchoaméni, Camavinga; Bellingham, Joselu and Rodrygo.
