The day after Barça’s success against Mallorca (5-1), Real is playing a complicated match in La Liga against Bilbao. For this meeting at San Mames, Carlo Ancelotti made a crucial choice concerning Kylian Mbappé.
In the absence of Vinicius Jr, the Bondynois will continue with a new tenure on the left side. And at his side, in a 4-4-2 system, he will find Rodrygo. The Brazilian takes his place to the detriment of Brahim Diaz.
Mbappé and Tchouaméni established
In the midfield, and faced with the sequence of matches, the Merengue coach chose to renew his defensive midfielder duo. Aurélien Tchouaméni will be there and he is associated with veteran Luka Modric. The wings will be occupied by Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham.
In central defense, the young Asencio is renewed. The Spanish prodigy will hold the hinge alongside Antonio Rudiger. In the corridors, we find Lucas Vazquez and Fran Garcia.
