Mbappé escapes punishment

This will not please all Real Madrid supporters, but Kylian Mbappé is absolutely not in the hot seat for the Merengues. As indicated Reliefwell-informed media on the life of the capital club, Carlo Ancelotti makes his team compositions taking into account four untouchable players who are Vinicius, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde and therefore the captain of the France team and new forward -real center.

Mbappé has, however, been unconvincing at the forefront of the Merengues' attack since his debut in mid-July in the European Super Cup against Atalanta (he scored his team's second goal). Statistically, the 25-year-old has eight goals (including three penalties) and two assists in 14 matches in all competitions. On the pitch, he struggles to make himself useful as a center forward. And, launched from deep, he was flagged offside eight times (a record) during the Clasico lost 4-0 at the Bernabéu against Barça.

Mbappé holder, not Tchouaméni nor Camavinga

After listing the names of Bellingham, Valverde,
Vinicius and Mbappé, the Italian staff completes the starting lineup with two players among Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Luka Modric and Rodrygo, depending on the tactic chosen for the meeting in question. Much more stable last season, Real Madrid now alternates with several formations, from the 4-3-3 at the start of the season to the 4-4-2 diamond of last year to 4-4-2 and 3-4- 2-1 far-fetched because catastrophic for Bellingham. A football mush.

A week after the humiliation suffered in its lair against the Blaugranas, now leaders with a six-point lead, Real does not have the opportunity to revive this weekend since its match in Valencia was postponed due to the terrible catastrophe experienced in the South-East of Spain. But the Spanish and European champion must prepare for a nice Champions League shock against AC Milan, next Tuesday at the Bernabéu, before resuming in La Liga with the reception of Osasuna, the team which surprised Barça (4-2) end of September.
