Since their defeat against Betis Sevilla, Real Madrid are three points behind. This evening, in the event of a victory over Elche (a match to follow live with commentary on French Football Weekly from 9:30 p.m.), the Merengue can put pressure on the Catalans who play tomorrow against Santander. However, with the Franjiverdes looking for their first victory, why not a burst of pride against the White House?
MartĂn Anselmi relies on his usual 4-2-3-1. Although he scored a goal the previous day against Brighton, Buonanotte found himself on the bench. He is replaced by Neto. Federico Redondo, son of, starts in central defense and will return to a club he knows well because his father played more than 200 matches there. Gonzalo Villar is also present in the double-pivot with Morcillo. JosĂ© Mourinho is banking on the same system. TchouamĂ©ni will celebrate his first start of the season after his twenty minutes against Rayo. Diomande continues on the right wing and will have to show a completely different face than against the club from the Madrid suburbs. Real’s in-form men, MbappĂ© and Bellingham, also start the game.
