Real Madrid take on Valencia this Friday in a late match on matchday 12 of La Liga. The stakes are high: a win would allow Los Merengues to regain the lead in the standings, at least temporarily. Carlo Ancelotti has unveiled his official line-up.
Real Madrid travel to Valencia this Friday with the aim of picking up three points. Valencia, currently in the red zone, will not be an easy opponent. The Merengues will have to be on their guard to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Carlo Ancelotti has selected a solid team for this match. In goal, Thibaut Courtois will be the last line of defence. In defence, Ferland Mendy, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Antonio Rüdiger and Lucas Vazquez will have the onerous task of containing Valencia’s attacks. In midfield, Fede Valverde, Dani Ceballos and Jude Bellingham will be responsible for controlling play and distributing the ball to the forwards. In attack, Vinícius Jr, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo will form a formidable trio. Their mission will be simple: to score goals and give their team victory.
A win against Valencia would allow Real Madrid to overtake Atlético de Madrid in the standings. Atlético are currently one point ahead of Los Merengues. This match is therefore crucial if they are to stay in the race for the league title. Carlo Ancelotti and his players know they cannot afford to drop any points. The pressure is on, but Real Madrid have what it takes to rise to the challenge.
