Official: Real Madrid starting lineup against Barcelona | Copa del Rey final | OneFootball

In two hours, Real Madrid will step out on the field at Estadio de La Cartuja to take on Barcelona in the finals of the Copa del Rey.

Ahead of the massive encounter in Seville, Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting lineup for the match with some major calls made.

As expected, Kylian Mbappe has been left out on the bench despite returning from injury as he is still not 100% fit.

Instead, Ancelotti has gone with a two-pronged attack consisting the Brazilian duo of Rodrygo Goes and Vinicius Jr.

Ferland Mendy is back after over a month out with injury and starts at left-back while Lucas Vazquez gets the nod on the right. Raul Asencio and Antonio Rudiger feature as the centre-backs with Thibaut Courtois in goal over Andriy Lunin.

Meanwhile, the Real Madrid boss has opted for a four-man midfield unit for the final against Barcelona. Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, and Jude Bellingham make up the quartet.
