Kylian Mbappé is in the starting line-up for Real Madrid’s trip to Real Sociedad this Saturday night in La Liga. But there are some changes around the Frenchman.

Carlo Ancelotti’s team line-up, highly anticipated as has been the case since the start of the season, has been released. After playing both of Les Bleus’ matches during the international break – the 90 minutes against Italy and a short half-hour against Belgium – Kylian Mbappé has indeed been named by Carlo Ancelotti to face Real Sociedad this Saturday (9pm), on the occasion of the 5th day of La Liga.

The captain of the Blues will play alongside Vinicius and Brahim Diaz, preferred to Rodrygo. It remains to be seen how the three attacking men will be positioned on the green rectangle. If permutations are to be expected, the former Parisian should probably occupy the point, with the Brazilian on his left and the Moroccan on his right.

Modric and Mendy start

In midfield, Luka Modric replaces Aurélien Tchouaméni, who is still injured. The Croatian playmaker will be associated with Federico Valverde and Arda Güler. Forfeit with the Blues, Ferland Mendy is starting in defense, with Antonio Rüdiger, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal.

The Real Madrid eleven: Courtois – Mendy, Rüdiger, Militão, Carvajal – Modric, Valverde, Güler – Vinicius, Mbappé, Brahim Diaz
