Real Madrid faces the sixth day of the group stage with the visit to Union Berlin and five changes compared to last Saturday’s eleven at the Villamarín. The most notable news is the ownership of Kepa, advanced in the preview by Ancelotti, with Nacho giving rest to Rüdiger and Modric forming a double pivot with Fede Valverde, who does not rest, like two other key players in the team such as Bellingham and Rodrygo .
KEPA
He returns to the starting lineup after an injury that was more complicated than expected. Rude error with the feet to compromise Modric followed by an extraordinary save to Behrens. He then was finer in his touch. He couldn’t do anything on the Union goal.
GRADE AT REST: 7
LUCAS VÁZQUEZ
New opportunity for the Galician given the loss of Carvajal. Very high from minute 1, like Fran García. He had several finishes, but none of them finished well. He lost his body in the play of Volland’s goal.
GRADE AT REST: 5.5
NACHO
He comes in to give the overused Rüdiger a break. A match with little demand for the Madrid captain.
GRADE AT REST: 5.5
ALABA
We miss the option of seeing him higher up, as he did in quite a few games with Bayern. But Ancelotti seems to have other plans for the Austrian, no matter how much it is demonstrated, such as the home team’s goal, that his shortcomings as a center back are evident.
GRADE AT REST: 4.5
FRAN GARCIA
New opportunity for the man from La Mancha after a good stretch of the season by Mendy. He put a great ball to Joselu that narrowly missed the goal. He made a loss that narrowly missed the mark.
GRADE AT REST: 6
MODRIC
Double pivot with Fede for the Croatian. A sharp ball from Kepa caused an error by Luka with the outside that could have been costly. He had a good shot option from outside the area, but he didn’t hit cleanly. Then he missed the goal from eleven meters, a luck in which he has always been a sure thing.
GRADE AT REST: 5.5
VALVERDE
It does not rotate despite the overload of games and minutes. He had a set piece midway through the first half but it went a little wide.
GRADE AT REST: 6
CEBALLOS
Little by little it is entering into dynamics. He started off active, but he still lacks a touch in many plays. He has an excessive tendency towards the baroque.
GRADE AT REST: 5
BELLINGHAM
He had the first of the match to once again demonstrate 9 fundamentals with a cut that left him alone against Ronnow, who beat him in supreme luck. Two minutes later he tried again, but crossed too far. Are you sure he’s not a 9?
GRADE AT REST: 7.5
RODRYGO
There is also no rest for the Brazilian, who is extremely fine at dribbling and controlling.
GRADE AT REST: 7
JOSELU
Champions game for Joselu, little joke. The first one he had he sent into the woodwork with a splendid headbutt. Then he had it after a German error, but the shot with the outside went just wide.
GRADE AT REST: 6
ANCELOTTI
He played around in the press room and made more changes than he announced, up to a total of five compared to the last game. Several untouchables in the eleven, but the reality is that the injuries don’t give him much room for maneuver either.
GRADE AT REST: 6
