Defence
Thibaut Courtois remains the first-choice goalkeeper for Real Madrid. No doubt he will don the gloves once again. Right-back Lucas Vazquez has settled in well and there is no reason to make changes in that position.
Aurelien Tchouameni is improving as a centre-back and it wouldn’t be surprising if he is used in the backline yet again. He will form the heart of the defence with Antonio Rudiger. Eduardo Camavinga played as a left-back as the other two haven’t been convincing so far.

Midfield
The Whites have improved and become consistent ever since integrating Dani Ceballos in the middle of the park. Hence, he should continue providing his services alongside Federico Valverde, who is scoring bangers for fun now.
Kylian Mbappe has finally joined the party and started hitting the ground. He could be seen operating on the left wing with Jude Bellingham being deployed in central areas.
With Rodrygo running on the right flank, the offensivemost position is left out of Vinicius Junior, who can excel in that role as well.
Notably, Mbappe and Vinicius will keep on switching the positions throughout to unsettle the opponent’s defence as marking these two is extremely difficult.
