Official: Real Madrid announce starting lineup to face Alaves | OneFootball

Real Madrid will lock horns with Deportivo Alaves in what will be their penultimate home match of the 2023/24 La Liga in a couple of hours.

Los Blancos were crowned champions with four matches to spare and lifted the league title this past Sunday before celebrating the success with the fans at Cibeles.

The focus now shifts back to on-field action as Real Madrid hope to keep their momentum going heading into the UEFA Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on June 1.

Ahead of the game, Carlo Ancelotti has announced the starting XI that will take on Alaves tonight at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Thibaut Courtois gets the nod in goal again as Real Madrid hope to have him in the best possible shape before the UCL final.

Ancelotti has opted to go for his near-strongest XI, with Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Nacho, and Ferland Mendy forming the backline.

Eduardo Camavinga operates as the defensive pivot while Toni Kroos and Federico Valverde take the two interior midfield positions.

Star man Jude Bellingham returns to the starting XI at the tip of the midfield diamond where he will operate behind the two Brazilian forwards in Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
