Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t do that to Kylian Mbappé. The captain of the France team is off to a good start in the Real Madrid match at Celta de Vigo this Saturday evening (9 p.m., live on beIN Sports 2). The opportunity for him to find a little smile on the pitch while the former PSG star player is in impossible turmoil. He would be the target of a rape complaint from a woman after his controversial escapade in Sweden in the middle of an international window.
Mbappé continues in the Madrid starting lineup since he started against Villarreal before the break (being replaced in the 71st minute of play). The Italian Merengues staff had aligned a 4-4-2 with Jude Bellingham moving from left midfielder to number 10 behind the Mbappé-Vinicius duo. This will be the case again this Saturday in Galicia.
Ferland Mendy on the bench
Aurélien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga partner in midfield, with Federico Valverde on their right. In defense, Lucas Vazquez takes advantage of Dani Carvajal’s serious injury to join the eleven, while left back Ferland Mendy starts on the bench for the benefit of Fran Garcia. Luka Modric, Arda Güler, Rodrygo and Endrick are also substitutes.
The reigning Spanish and European champion continues next Tuesday in the Champions League with the reception of Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabéu.
The starting lineup: Courtois – Vazquez, Militao, Rüdiger, Garcia – Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Bellingham – Mbappé, Vinicius.
