Possible Real Madrid XI for the derby at the Metropolitano
Mundo Deportivo expects Arda Güler to start on the right and Mbappé up front for the season’s first Madrid derby vs Atlético.
Real Madrid head to the Metropolitano for the season’s first derby, with kick-off at 16:15, according to Mundo Deportivo. The match also carries extra weight given the spotlight on Mourinho’s project in his second spell in charge of the club.
A call for the right wing
As Mundo Deportivo reports, the key bet in Mourinho’s setup would be Arda Güler, expected to start on the right side of the attacking line. The alternative mentioned is that Mourinho could leave Vinícius out and put Diomande in his place, but the article stresses there are no clear signs that this swap will happen.
The XI shaping the plan
The probable starting XI outlined by Mundo Deportivo is: Courtois; Dumfries, Konaté, Huijsen, Cucurella; Valverde, Bernardo Silva; Arda Güler, Bellingham, Vinícius; and Mbappé.
Mundo Deportivo also includes a quote from Mourinho about the club’s atmosphere: “It’s hard to hear something positive about Real Madrid” (EFE).
