Expected lineup 4-2-3-1 Real Madrid vs Union Berlin: Joselu, Bellingham aim to spearhead Ancelotti’s attack

At the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Tuesday night, Real Madrid and Union Berlin will play. In the UEFA Champions League, both teams are trying to get all three points on the road. Real Madrid would like to get back to winning ways this week after Real Betis held them to a 1-1 draw not long ago.

It’s likely that Ancelotti will make a lot of changes to the starting eleven for this game. His team will be set up in a 4-2-3-1 form. In the last third, Real Madrid’s Joselu is likely to lead the line.

Real Madrid’s goalie, Andriy Lunin, will try to keep the scoreless on the road. David Alaba and Nacho could work together in the middle of Ancelotti’s defense to make the home team mad the whole time.

Lucas Vazquez could keep his spot as right back, and Fran Garcia could play left back and show what he can do. That means they can both go forward and fight when they want to.

While sitting on the bench, Antonio Rudiger will play defense in his place.

In the middle

Nico Paz and Dani Ceballos will keep the ball in the middle of the field while they try to win 50/50 balls. The three good players Jude Bellingham, Luka Modric, and Brahim Diaz might get to play just ahead of them in Ancelotti’s attack. Real Madrid has a good chance to win this game if all of them can move the ball well.

Toni Kroos will be on the bench, but Ancelotti could make a big difference by putting him in during the second half.

Launch an attack

Joselu will be in charge of Real Madrid’s attack by himself. He needs to think of a way to make the guards on the other team’s team work hard during the game.

That’s all Rodrygo will do for the rest of the game. He’ll wait for his chance to shine in the second half, if that’s what the team needs.
