Excellent in the Champions League this week, Eduardo Camavinga loses his place in Real Madrid’s starting lineup for the Clasico against FC Barcelona this Saturday afternoon.

Carlo Ancelotti has decided: Eduardo Camavinga does not start with Real Madrid for the Clasico against FC Barcelona, ​​this Saturday (4:45 p.m.), at the Olympic Stadium in Montjuic. Already relegated to the bench last week in La Liga, the French international is coming off a good performance against Braga in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Ferland Mendy is aligned on the left of the defense, while Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos accompany Aurélien Tchouaméni in midfield (Luka Modric is also on the bench). Unsurprisingly, Jude Bellingham plays in support of Rodrygo and Vinicius.

On the Catalan side, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha are back in the group but are too short to start. Joao Félix and Ferran Torres play in particular in attack, with Joao Cancelo announced as the right winger in Xavi’s formation, Lamine Yamal being a replacement. Jules Koundé is also on the bench.
