so the rumours that brahim is starting were false
No Tchouameni at Metropolitano again.
Need Fede and Cama to cover the defence or it’s going to be replay of the last match.
Surprised to see Tchouameni not starting.
No Tchou and Kroos

Tchouameni is massively overrated (this doesn’t mean he’s bad, but not as key as people think he is). We played Fran Garcia and Vazquez as fullbacks in the 3-1 and got assaulted with crosses. We conceded 3 goals then and we conceded 3 goals in the super cup. Camavinga is the superior and more talented player, but I would’ve liked to see Kroos over Modric personally.
Will Arda get minutes? Thoughts
Our defence has been really good this season but we still struggle with defending crosses. Most of our conceded goals have come from crosses, especially against Atleti. In this season’s two games we have conceded 5 goals (out of 6) from crosses. So our defence line has to be very cautious and mark their men properly.
i also fell victim to the fake reports of brahim starting to rest rodrygo π but this all makes sense, mostly
Maybe Ancelotti is just resting the players that started Γ©l Classico (except Valverde who’s not replaceable)
Good lineup. A mix of rotations and subs off the bench
We need Joselu.
As I said before Cama vs Tchou will be the best rivalry of the season
We have 2 teams. Kroos will rotate with Modric. The others as well
It’s crazy that we always talk about tchou, cama, kroos, even arda and brahim, but it goes to show our coach knows, we can drop anybody but we can never drop Fede. One of the most important players of the last 5 seasons.
Cama Fede double pivot right?
Tchou not starting is curious, but we saw Camavinga do well as a CDM between Tchou’s injury and Cama’s injury earlier this season; it’s good to get Cama back in the starting lineup.
