GdS: Predicted XIs for Real Madrid vs. Milan

AC Milan are hoping to pull off a shock in the Champions League tonight at the home of the current holders Real Madrid.

You can find the full details regarding team news and some insight on the opposition in our pre-match preview. The injured players for this game are Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi.

According to what is being reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) this morning, Paulo Fonseca will choose a defensive department of Emerson Royal, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of Mike Maignan.

Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders will rather unsurprisingly make up the midfield double pivot once again. The paper suggests that Yunus Musah will start as well but in a slightly different role: they have him playing on the right, adding protection to Emerson’s flank.

Christian Pulisic is pencilled in as the attacking midfielder behind the striker Alvaro Morata – who like Theo will face off against his former club – then Rafael Leao returns on the left wing.

Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Musah, Pulisic, Leao; Morata.

Predicted Real Madrid XI (4-4-2): Monday; Vazquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Bellingham, Modric, Valverde, Camavinga; Mbappe, Vinicius Jr.
