Real Madrid-Celta Vigo, the probable formations
Quarterfinals of the King’s Cup up for grabs at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where the game will be played Thursday evening with kickoff at 9:30 p.m. Real Madrid comes to the challenge after the previous round’s round 5-0 win over Deportiva Minera, more difficult the 3-2 with which Celta Vigo had won away over Racing Santander.
Carlo Ancelotti did not give up his best men, launching Mbappé from the first minute and the very talented battery of trequartisti composed of Rodrygo, Bellingham and Vinicius behind him. In the midfield Tchouameni and Valverde, Alaba central alongside Rudiger.
Celta Vigo opts for a bold trident, in which Isco will act to the right of Ezzalzouli, with Roque on the opposite lane. Altimira, Cardoso and Ruibal in the midfield, with Bartra and Llorente tasked with curbing the many offensive weapons at Real Madrid’s disposal.
