A trio of first-team stars at La Liga giants Real Madrid stand out as the only players to have featured from the off in each and every one of the club’s fixtures this season.
This comes after the fourth member of the same group was dropped to the bench on Tuesday.
En route to Real Madrid’s La Liga downing of Levante, Aurélien Tchouaméni was afforded a well-earned rest.
As much came after the Frenchman started all six of Los Blancos’ previous outings to open 2025/26.
As alluded to above, though, three others managed to maintain their places as undisputed starters under the watch of Xabi Alonso.
After taking their respective places in Real’s XI to face Levante, Thibaut Courtois, Álvaro Carreras and Kylian Mbappé played their parts in an eventual 4-1 victory.
The trio will now be hopeful of featuring from the start once more this weekend, when Real Madrid lock horns with city rivals Atlético in the season’s first edition of the Madrid Derby.
