After Atlético de Madrid’s draw against Villarreal, the Merengues have the opportunity to take control of La Liga. A victory this evening would put them four points ahead of their Madrid rival.
For this trip to Valladolid, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti chose to rely on a four-man defense with Rüdiger and Tchouaméni in the central hinge. On the sides, we find Asensio on the right and Garcia on the left. In midfield, the Ceballos-Valverde-Bellingham trio will have the difficult task of recovering the balls and launching the offensives.
In attack, the Mbappé-Rodrygo-Díaz trident promises fast and dangerous combinations. The young Moroccan international Brahim Díaz, in great shape, will be keen to confirm his good run.

This match promises to be exciting and could have important consequences on the title race.
