Official: Real Madrid name star-studded XI to face Liverpool | OneFootball

The XI of players called upon by La Liga giants Real Madrid for the club’s meeting with Liverpool has been unveiled online.

And it comes as precisely the same one which proved too much for arch rivals Barcelona in La Liga late last month.

This means Xabi Alonso has opted to continue with midfield standout Federico Valverde at right-back, leaving Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench against his former club.

Elsewhere, Eduardo Camavinga steps back into a starting role, after being left out against Valencia over the weekend.

Continuing to lead the line for the visitors to Anfield will be star Blancos duo Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr, supported by the in-form Jude Bellingham.

Real head into Tuesday’s action on Merseyside in the midst of what has been a spectacular opening to the campaign.

All told, across 14 outings in all competitions to date, the Spanish table-toppers have emerged on the right side of the result in all but one.
