On to La Liga. Defeated by LOSC this Wednesday in the Champions League (1 goal to 0), Real Madrid returns to the championship this Saturday evening against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu.
An important meeting for Carlo Ancelotti’s men who can put pressure on FC Barcelona in the standings but who must above all bounce back after the surprise defeat in C1 on the Lille lawn.
For this part, Carlo Ancelotti should rely on a solid group. Absent from Didier Deschamps’ list for the international break, Kylian Mbappé is indeed part of the Madrid squad for the Villarreal reception.
The Frenchman is in the Casa Blanca squad as are his attacking partners Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo, Endrick and Jude Bellingham.
Opposite, Villarreal which is in 3rd place just one point behind the Madrilenians will aim to create a surprise and imitate LOSC. A success would even allow them to move ahead in the rankings. To be continued…
