Official: Real Madrid starting lineup against Osasuna

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has made a series of adjustments to his line-up ahead of the home match against Osasuna, aiming to secure a crucial win and end a difficult period.

After suffering two recent defeats against Barcelona and Milan, Ancelotti’s squad faces the challenge of bouncing back and regaining their winning form.

For this game, the Italian coach has opted to make three important changes to the starting eleven, including a shift back to the familiar 4-3-3 formation.

One of the biggest adjustments is the return of Rodrygo to the starting line-up, providing an attacking boost that Real Madrid hopes will make an immediate impact.

Eduardo Camavinga also steps into the starting eleven, taking up a key role in midfield due to Tchouaméni’s recent injury. In defence, Fran Garcia fills the left-back position, adding depth to the team’s back line.

Andriy Lunin will take up the position as the goalkeeper, with Lucas Vazquez and Garcia on the flanks, while Antonio Rudiger and Eder Militao form a strong central pairing.

The manager is clearly looking for stability at the back, knowing how important it is to control the game from a defensive perspective. In midfield, Camavinga steps into a pivot role, flanked by Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham.

This combination brings a mix of strength, creativity, and ball control, which Real Madrid will need to dictate play and create opportunities. Camavinga’s role in particular is vital, as his ability to recover possession and support the attack will be crucial to Ancelotti’s game plan.

Leading the attack will be the trio of Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. The forward line is packed with pace and skill, with each player capable of taking on defenders and creating scoring chances.
