It’s the surprise of Real Madrid’s lineup to face Bayern this Tuesday in Munich. Aurélien Tchouaméni starts in midfield and not in defense, which sends Eduardo Camavinga to the sidelines!
Once is not custom, Marca said the truth. Eduardo Camavinga is officially a substitute for the semi-final first leg of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Bayern, this Tuesday evening (9 p.m.) in Munich. The French international, however, started both matches against Manchester City alongside Toni Kroos. “Cama” will be content with coming into play in the second half. And he is largely able to make the difference at the end of the match.
To contain Harry Kane and others, Carlo Ancelotti did not line up Aurélien Tchouameni in central defense, as the Madrid media imagined the day before the match. The Italian coach thus opted for a central Nacho-Antonio Rüdiger hinge. Lucas Vazquez and Ferland Mendy will play on the sides, with Dani Carvajal suspended.
Bellingham and Vinicius in front?
Tchouameni therefore regains his position as number 6 with Federico Valverde and Toni Kroos at his side. The three offensive cracks of the Merengues, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius are very present. To see if Rodrygo is not replaced as a left midfielder to give even more freedom to his two attacking friends, as was the case during the double confrontation against the Cityzens.
Eder Militao, Luka Modric, Brahim Diaz and Joselu are also on the Real bench and likely to come on in the second half. Note the presence of Thibaut Courtois, still in the recovery phase, on the match sheet.
The Real Madrid lineup: Lunin – Vazquez, Nacho, Rüdiger, Mendy – Valverde, Tchouaméni, Kroos – Bellingham – Rodrygo, Vinicius.
