Eduardo Camavinga Walks Into the XI | 4-3-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Vs Manchester City

Real Madrid registered a 1-0 win against Mallorca in the La Liga, thanks to Aurelien Tchouameni’s golazo. With the latest win, they continue to lead the points table with eight points. However, their next challenge lies against Manchester City in the Champions League.

The Whites will travel to Etihad Stadium midweek to lock horns with the English side in the second leg. After extracting a draw at home, the 14-time UCL Champions will have to pull a magical win if they wish to advance to the next stage.

Andriy Lunin continues to be lined up between the sticks. Apart from Manchester City’s first goal, he had no chance to stop the other two. Dani Carvajal retains as the right-back in the lineup. He did neat work in the first leg and would want to drop a similar performance.

Carlo Ancelotti will be forced to make a change as Aurelien Tchouameni is suspended for the clash for picking up his third yellow card. Nacho Fernandez is the front-runner to link up with Antonio Rudiger in the centre-back position.

The latter defender was terrific as he managed to keep Erling Haaland quiet. No change at the left full-back spot as Ferland Mendy gets retained.

Midfield

Eduardo Camavinga should be deployed to play as the defensive midfielder. Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde are expected to take the field once again. Luka Modric is likely to be used in the second half just like in the first leg.

Jude Bellingham to operate as the attacking midfielder as usual. He failed miserably to have an impact on the game at home. Hence, he will be desperate to do better on Wednesday.

Attack

Expect no change in the offensive line as Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are the undisputed picks. They both linked up well in transitions to find the openings.

David Alaba, Thibaut Courtois and Eder Militao are the absentees
