Carlo Ancelotti risks wrath of Real Madrid fans as full-back pairing to face Arsenal revealed | OneFootball

The two Real Madrid stars set to fill the full-back positions for the club’s upcoming showdown with Arsenal have this afternoon been unveiled online.

Real, of course, are primed to return to action later today.

Shifting focus back towards matters on the continent, Los Blancos will welcome Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to Spain’s capital, for the 2nd leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie between the clubs.

As it stands, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops require something of a miracle to advance, following a three-goal thrashing at The Emirates in last week’s opener.

Safe to say, then, that the latest word stemming from the camp at Valdebebas is unlikely to go down all too well with those of a Real Madrid persuasion.

As per Marca, despite widespread recent criticism, Los Merengues’ starting full-back pairing to face Arsenal will consist of Lucas Vázquez, and David Alaba.

As much will push Federico Valverde back into midfield, with Fran García forced to make do with a spot on the bench.
