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?
Martín 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. José Mourinho is banking on the same system. Tchouaméni 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, Mbappé and Bellingham, also start the game.
