Vinicius Jr, it's confirmed!

The Vinicius Jr soap opera continues at Real Madrid. Replacing Tuesday evening against OM in the Champions League, which was a strong choice of Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian striker finds a starting place this Saturday for the reception of the Espanyol.

The 2nd of the Ballon d'Or 2024 incorporates a very offensive eleven, since Gonzalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappé are also aligned, just like Franco Mastantuono. The Madrid press awaits a kind of 4-2-4, with Mbappé and Garcia in the axis.

Aurélien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde should not lack work in the midfield. On the Real Madrid bench, we will note the presence of the returnings Jude Bellingham and Endrick. With also Rodrygo, Arda Güler, Brahim Diaz or Eduardo Camavanga, the Merengues will have resources to enter during the game.
