An insight the leading figures at La Liga champions Real Madrid when it comes to minutes played thus far this season has on Thursday been provided.
The info comes courtesy of Diario AS, and points towards a somewhat unsurprising name as leading the way.
Amid nothing short of a crisis in the defensive ranks in Spain’s capital at present, Antonio Rüdiger has spent more time on the pitch than any other member of Carlo Ancelotti’s squad in 2024/25.
All told, the German international has racked up 1,447 minutes of action across all competitions.
And close behind Rüdiger comes another mainstay in the XI of boss Ancelotti, in the form of Federico Valverde.
Expected to be utilised at right-back over the weeks ahead owing to the injuries suffered by Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, Valverde has continued to act as a near ever present in Real’s midfield setup this term.
The Uruguayan, for his part, has spent 1,437 minutes on the pitch, just 10 fewer than Blancos teammate Rüdiger.
