Ancelotti Tests Two Different Lineups for Munich

Carlo Ancelotti’s focus has been on Munich for days now. The Real Madrid coach is testing two different lineups for Bayern

How will Real Madrid line up in Germany? Carlo Ancelotti has already tested two different lineups for the visit to Bayern Munich, affecting three players. The coach of the Blancos knows that the margin for error is minimal and that he must undoubtedly choose both the pieces and the roles according to what the team needs to succeed in the heart of Bavaria.

“The lineup for Tuesday, I have to look at it. Militao has returned, played very well, and it was his first game as a starter since his return. These are options, and I will evaluate them all in the coming days. Militao is gradually returning to his best level and now has time to improve. We are very happy in that regard,” were the words of the Italian after his team’s last victory in the league.

The reality is that Ancelotti currently does not have a clear starting lineup for Germany. It all starts with understanding that there are three pieces that currently generate doubts for him. Two of them will be starters, and one will have to stay on the bench. The experience, level, needs, and strengths of the opponent weigh in all senses.

What will Carletto do? Nacho, Camavinga, and Tchouaméni. They are the affected players by the two plans that Ancelotti is analyzing at the moment. In the first one, the academy graduate would start, and Aurélien would be the midfielder to allow Eduardo to go to the bench because Mendy is focused on being the starter on the left wing at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Can you guess the second plan?

Tchouaméni and Rudiger would be the center-backs, Camavinga in the pivot, and Nacho would go to the bench. It’s the big question to be resolved in a coaching staff that still doesn’t see Militao at 100% to play in a Champions League semi-final against forwards of the caliber of a Harry Kane, who is currently the main threat for Thomas Tuchel’s team.
