Real Madrid has officially announced their squad for the upcoming UEFA Champions League clash against Olympiakos on Wednesday. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter as Los Blancos aim to secure crucial points in their quest for European glory.
The squad features a mix of experienced players and emerging talents. In goal, Andriy Lunin is set to make his season debut, stepping in for the sidelined Thibaut Courtois. Alongside him, Fran González and Javi Navarro will provide backup. The defensive line is thin, with Raúl Asencio being the only available center-back after Huijsen‘s muscle fatigue. He will likely partner with Carreras, as they face a formidable Olympiakos attack. The full-back positions will be manned by Trent, Fran García, and Ferland Mendy.
Midfield Dynamics
The midfield boasts an impressive lineup, including rising star Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, and Dani Ceballos. Aurelien Tchouameni returns from injury but may not be ready to start in the intense atmosphere of the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. Young talent Arda Güler is also included in the squad, showcasing Real Madrid’s commitment to integrating youth into their ranks.
Attacking Options
In attack, Real Madrid has an array of firepower with Vinicius Jr., Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, Gonzalo, and Brahim Diaz all available to Xabi Alonso. The presence of Mbappé adds significant excitement to the lineup; can he deliver under pressure? With such a blend of creativity and pace, Madrid’s forwards will look to exploit any defensive lapses from Olympiakos.
The match is set to kick off at 21:00 CET (15:00 EST) at the iconic Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium in Athens. Fans can catch the action live on Movistar Liga Campeones in Spain or stream it via Paramount+, DAZN, and Amazon Prime Video in the USA. With both teams eager for victory, this clash promises to deliver high-stakes drama and unforgettable moments.
As Real Madrid prepares for this critical encounter, the question remains: can they capitalize on their attacking prowess while navigating a challenging away atmosphere? A strong performance could set the tone for their Champions League campaign.
