Real Madrid 4-3-1-2 starting lineup against Barcelona

With Real Madrid set to take on arch-rivals Barcelona in a couple of hours, manager Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting lineup for the game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Ancelotti has made a few changes to the team from the midweek assignment against Manchester City.

Andriy Lunin mans the Real Madrid goal and will be hoping to repeat his midweek heroics again tonight versus Barcelona.

Antonio Rudiger and Aurelien Tchouameni, back from suspension, form the centre-back pairing shielding the goalkeeper while Lucas Vazquez starts at right-back in place of Dani Carvajal.

With Ferland Mendy not fit enough to start, it is Eduardo Camavinga who gets the nod at left-back.

Toni Kroos likely starts as the deepest of the midfielders for Real Madrid while Federico Valverde and Luka Modric, captain on the night, operate as the interior midfielders.

Jude Bellingham will be the most advanced of the four midfielders for Real Madrid, playing just off of the two forwards in Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Jr.
