Official: Real Madrid starting lineup against Osasuna

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has made a number of adjustments to his lineup ahead of the home game against Osasuna in a bid to secure a crucial win and end a difficult period.

After recent two defeats against Barcelona and Milan, Ancelotti’s side face the challenge of getting back on their feet and getting back into winning form.

For this game, the Italian coach has opted for three important changes to the starting XI, including a return to the familiar 4-3-3 formation.

One of the biggest adjustments is the return of Rodrygo to the starting XI, providing an attacking boost that Real Madrid will hope will make an immediate impact.

Eduardo Camavinga also moves into the starting line-up and takes on a key role in midfield due to Tchouaméni’s recent injury. In defense, Fran Garcia occupies the left-back position, adding depth to the team’s defensive line.

Andriy Lunin will take the goalkeeper position, with Lucas Vazquez and Garcia on the wings, while Antonio Rüdiger and Eder Militao form a strong central duo.

The coach is clearly looking for stability in defense as he knows how important it is to control the game from a defensive perspective. In midfield, Camavinga takes on a central role, flanked by Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham.

This combination brings with it a mix of strength, creativity and ball control that Real Madrid will need to dictate the game and create chances. Camavinga’s role in particular is crucial as his ability to regain possession of the ball and support the attack will be crucial to Ancelotti’s game plan.

Leading the attack is the trio of Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. The forward line is full of pace and skill, with each player capable of taking on defenders and creating scoring chances.
