The Champions League final is approaching for Real Madrid, with Carlo Ancelotti already choosing the best lineup to face Dortmund.
Real Madrid’s final day on Spanish soil has come to an end before heading to London where Carlo Ancelotti’s men will be looking for a new day in Real Madrid’s history.
Ancelotti said before the expected match: “We have all the hope in the world, despite what the final requires. We want to start the week well, with training, calmly and confidently. It is a week to enjoy, taking into account the difficulty of the opponent.”
“Reaching the final is the success of the season and we have the idea that we performed well,” the Italian said throughout the day open to the media in a press conference in Valdebebas where Ancelotti showed himself more focused than ever on achieving the goal.
They were not easy days. Ancelotti knew better than anyone else that he had to make difficult choices about the team that would start the final, taking into account the brilliance of most of the Madrid team’s players.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Courtois will be the starter, in addition to a line of four defenders consisting of Mendy and Carvajal on the sides, while Rudiger and Nacho represent the safety valve for Real Madrid.
For his part, Carlo Ancelotti prepared for the match in the best possible way for weeks. However, Chouamini’s injury changed the Italian coach’s plans a little, because the Frenchman is an essential part of this team.
In his absence, the Italian seems determined to bet on the character of Camavinga, who is competing in the Champions League final for the second time.
The test conducted by Valdebebas over the past few hours left no room for doubt as he will start with a midfield consisting of: Camavinga, Kroos, Valverde, and Bellingham.
At Wembley, we will only have the Brazilian duo who intend to win the Champions League for the second time since joining Real Madrid. Vinicius and Rodrigo complete the lineup in the attack.
