Atalanta-Real Madrid, the probable formations

Atalanta-Real Madrid è the Tuesday big match of the sixth day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the Gewiss Stadium. The Nerazzurri, fifth in the standings, want to keep flying in Europe where they are still undefeated. On the other side, the Blancos, only 24th and coming off two defeats to Liverpool and Milan, are in desperate need of points.

Gasperini seems intent on confirming the light trident in attack with De Ketelaere still preferred over Retegui, paired with Lookman and Pasalic in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by De Roon and Ederson, Bellanova and Ruggeri on the flanks. In defense Kossounou in place of Hien, with Djimsiti stepping up in the center, between the posts Carnesecchi.

Ancelotti recovers Vinicius in attack, who will partner Mbappé behind Bellingham. Keys of the midfield entrusted to Tchouameni, with Modric and Valverde midwings. In defense there'è young Asencio next to Rudiger, between the posts Courtois.
