The first matches of the season are set to begin between Real Madrid and Barcelona, as Carlo Ancelotti’s team aims to make a strong statement and secure a victory over the Catalans at the Santiago Bernabéu.
As expected, Carlo Ancelotti has not disclosed his starting lineup, but the situation appears relatively clear, with one notable question about who will play at right-back.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper “Marca,” the candidates for this position are Lucas Vázquez and Éder Militão. Although Vázquez scored the winning goal in the 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund, he was held accountable for both goals scored by the German team.
On the other hand, the Brazilian has experience in this position, having previously played for Porto and also filled in on the right side for his national team.
The Spanish newspaper adds that it seems the Italian coach is planning to rely on Militão, which would mean moving Tchouameni to the center-back position.
In midfield, with the Frenchman in defense, Camavinga will take his place alongside Modric, Fede Valverde, and Jude Bellingham. This arrangement would see Mbappé and Vinicius at the forefront of the attack.
We’ll see what unfolds, as the player chosen for the right-back position will be tasked with defending against Rafinha, who has been in excellent form in the Clasico.
