After the suspension of their League match in Mestalla against Valencia, which was supposed to be played last Saturday and which was postponed due to the serious consequences of DANA in the towns near the capital of Turia, andReal Madrid returns to activity this Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabéu hosting Milan, a European Cup winnerin what will be the fourth day of the Champions League. A duel not without importance, since Madrid has already failed once in the three previous days (lost in Lille) and after this day they will have to travel to Liverpool and Bergamo to face Atalanta. It is urgent to win in a duel that will bring together 22 European Cups, 15 for Madrid and 7 for Milan.

With the squad rested after ten days without playing and with hardly any injuries (only Courtois, who will probably return against Osasuna, Carvajal and Alaba remain; the Austrian is not expected until 2025), Ancelotti will be able to form with his (almost) gala eleven. Although that eleven includes one doubt: Modric and Camavinga. Tchouameni, Valverde and Bellingham are fixed in the center of the field And that fourth place in the midfield remains between the Croatian, with a better touch but less physical given his age (39 years), and the Frenchman, a gale in driving, but without so much pause. And for this duel, everything indicates that Modric will be Carletto’s choice, since he was a substitute in the Clásico and Madrid is having a hard time dominating with the ball since Kroos left. Modric is the closest thing he has in the squad and against Milan everything indicates that the Balkan will start.
In goal, without Courtois, Lunin will once again form, who left many doubts against Barça and will have an opportunity to vindicate himself in a competition, the Champions League, which last year gave him the greatest joy after his performances against Leipzig and City , both away from home. And in defense, few experiments: Lucas Vázquez, Militao, Rüdiger and Mendy. With the four midfielders already mentioned, the attack will once again be made up of Mbappé and Vinicius. The Frenchman arrives after the criticism he accumulated for his bad game in the Classic; the Brazilian, spurred on by not having received the Ballon d’Or, something that caused him anger that he did not hide.
Thus, Madrid’s eleven against Milan will be: Monday; Lucas Vázquez, Militao, Rudiger, Mendy; Tchouameni, Valverde, Modric, Bellingham; Mbappé and Vinicius.
