Official: Real Madrid name XI to face Arsenal | OneFootball

The group of players set to be depended upon by the Real Madrid coaching staff to get the better of Arsenal on Tuesday evening has been unveiled online.

And it features, as expected, a whole host of star names.

Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action in short order.

Fresh off a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Valencia in La Liga over the weekend, Los Blancos have turned attentions back towards matters on the continent.

Amid ongoing efforts to retain their Champions League crown, the capital heavyweights have made the trip to north London, for the first leg of a quarter-final tie with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

And as alluded to above, a short time ago, the XI of visiting players set to take to the pitch at The Emirates was unveiled online.

Stepping back in for Real Madrid, crucially, is Thibaut Courtois, with Federico Valverde preferred to Lucas Vázquez at right-back.

On the opposite side, David Alaba is afforded a rare start at left-back.

With Aurélien Tchouaméni suspended, Eduardo Camavinga steps in at the base of midfield, whilst Rodrygo is preferred to Brahim Díaz, making for a star-studded front three:
