The XI of players chosen by Carlo Ancelotti and the Real Madrid coaching staff to get the better of arch rivals Barcelona on Sunday has been unveiled online.
And it features one particular inclusion which will no doubt go down a treat with the Blancos faithful.
Real Madrid are of course primed to return to action in short order.
Amid ongoing efforts to hunt down Hansi Flick’s Barcelona atop the La Liga table, the reigning Spanish champions have made the trip to Catalunya’s capital, for a La Liga showdown.
Real head into the final Clásico of the campaign in the knowledge that nothing but a victory will suffice, if they hope to remain in with a shot of displacing table-topping Barcelona before the term is out.
And as alluded to above, a short time ago, the group of players tasked with securing precisely as much was revealed.
The XI is the same one which took to the pitch in Los Merengues’ last outing, a 3-2 victory over Celta Vigo.
This means that Arda Güler maintains his place in attack, preferred to the struggling Rodrygo by boss Ancelotti at Montjuïc:
