Real Madrid’s predicted XI for the Champions League final | OneFootball

An insight into the line-up plans of Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti for the upcoming Champions League final has this week been provided.

The info comes courtesy of Marca, and points towards Real’s master tactician as having already all but decided on his XI for the continental showpiece.

Los Blancos will of course make the trip to Wembley on June 1st, with the chance to add a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy to the club’s silverware cabinet.

German giants Borussia Dortmund stand in the way of Ancelotti and co, fresh off an impressive semi-final ousting of Paris Saint-Germain.

So, in efforts to get the better of the always dangerous BVB, who will be in from the off in London for Real Madrid?

As per the aforementioned Marca, the most notable inclusions come down the spine of the capital outfit’s line-up.

The returning Thibaut Courtois will take his place between the posts, Nacho will get the nod over Éder Militão at the heart of defence, and Eduardo Camavinga will step in for the sidelined Aurélien Tchouaméni at the base of midfield.

The rest of the XI essentially picks itself, set to consist of Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rüdiger and Ferland Mendy at the back, Toni Kroos, Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham in the middle of the park, and Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo in attack.
