Real Madrid presents 24-man squad for derby
According to Mundodeportivo.
Background
José Mourinho, the current coach of Real Madrid, has prepared his team for this important derby. His experience in managing top clubs in La Liga, combined with the current squad, will be crucial to achieving a positive result against Atlético Madrid.
Why this matters
The derby between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid is always a crucial moment in the La Liga, where both prestige and important points are at stake. With the absence of key players such as Éder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo Goes, José Mourinho will have to adapt his strategy to break Atlético's strong defense. This match could determine the title race in La Liga, especially given the rivalry between these two big clubs.
Key points
- Real Madrid presents 24-man squad for derby.
- Real Madrid will retain the same 24 players for the derby against Atlético; Militao, Mendy and Rodrygo are still missing.
- La lista de convocados del Madrid para el derbi del Metropolitano.
Real Madrid has announced its squad for the derby against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 4:15 PM. Trainer José Mourinho once again opts for a 24-man group, identical to the convocation for the recent competition matches with Rayo Vallecano and Elche. There are no returners: the long-term injured Éder Militao, Ferland Mendy and Rodrygo Goes are still missing.
Mourinho did not want to give any clues about his starting team in the run-up to the match. Yet the center line again seems to be the place where things can move. Everything indicates that Bernardo Silva can start again, which means that Yan Diomande - who performed well in the narrow victory in the Martínez Valero - may be the child of the bill. Furthermore, a recognizable backbone is expected, with a lot of quality and experience in all lines.
The Madrid derby character speaks for itself: more than prestige, there is pressure, intensity and control at stake. This match is important for both teams to maintain their momentum in the competition. Real Madrid aims for effectiveness in transition and creativity from midfield, while Atlético traditionally puts a lot of energy into the duels and has the home crowd behind them.
Real Madrid's full squad for the match at the Metropolitano:
- Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andrij Lunin, Mestre
- Defenders: Asencio, Trent, Denzel Dumfries, Huijsen, Antonio Rüdiger, Ibrahima Konaté, Carreras, Marc Cucurella
- Midfielders: Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Bernardo Silva, Arda Güler, Thiago Pitarch
- Forwards: Vinícius, Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, Brahim Díaz, Carlos Espí, Yan Diomande
It is striking that Mourinho keeps exactly the same names as in the previous two league matches. In doing so, he opts for continuity and stability towards one of the toughest away matches of the season. The absence of Militao and Mendy remains a defensive disadvantage, while the absence ofRodrygo limits the options up front. Still, the list offers plenty of attacking options, with Vinícius, Mbappé and Endrick as eye-catchers, and creativity in midfield through Bellingham, Camavinga and possibly Bernardo Silva.
The kick-off is Sunday at 4:15 PM at the Cívitas Metropolitano. The match can be seen in Spain via DAZN.
What's happening now
With the expected return of Bernardo Silva to the starting line-up, Mourinho will have to consider how he deploys the rest of his midfield and attack. The match kicks off at 4:15pm on Sunday, and excitement will be high considering the recent performances of both teams. Real Madrid will be hoping for a strong performance to increase the pressure on the competition in La Liga, while Atlético will look to capitalize on its home advantage.
