For the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad, Carlo Ancelotti has unveiled the official squad. Usually, key stars are rested in this competition, but this time, the situation has changed.
Real Madrid’s objective at this stage of the season is to secure a sensational treble. With two months left until the end of the campaign, Carlo Ancelotti and his men have their fate in their hands across all competitions—except in La Liga, where Barça refuses to slow down. Before travelling to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, Los Blancos will first aim to book their place in the Copa del Rey final. After securing a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad in the first leg, Madrid will welcome their opponents to the Santiago Bernabéu this Tuesday for the return fixture.
The full squad revealed
For this crucial clash, Carlo Ancelotti has called up all his key players. In previous rounds, he rested stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and even Kylian Mbappé, but the 65-year-old coach is not taking any chances this time. With Sociedad determined to give it their all and pull off an upset, Real Madrid will field a full-strength squad, except for the unavailable players: Thibaut Courtois, who missed training again on Monday, Dani Ceballos, Ferland Mendy, along with Dani Carvajal and Éder Militão.
There will likely be changes to the starting eleven, but Ancelotti is ready to rely on his key players if needed. This time, Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Endrick, Jude Bellingham, and others are all included in the squad list.
Goalkeepers: Andriy Lunin, Fran Gonzalez, Sergio Mestre
Defenders: David Alaba, Lucas Vazquez, Fran Garcia, Antonio Rudiger, Raul Asencio
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Luka Modric, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler
Forwards: Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo Goes, Endrick, Brahim Diaz.
