Real Madrid’s likely XI vs Rayo Vallecano
Mourinho gets Camavinga, Bernardo Silva and Güler back and fields a strong starting lineup after losing last time to Betis.
Real Madrid host Rayo Vallecano tonight with a must-win mindset after their last La Liga defeat, in Seville against Betis. With Camavinga, Bernardo Silva and Güler returning for the midfield, José Mourinho is set to name a very regular, top-tier lineup aimed at making sure the three points stay put.
A lineup built to win
As Mundo Deportivo outlines, Thibaut Courtois will be between the posts, backed by a defensive unit featuring Dumfries, Konaté and Huijsen alongside Cucurella. In midfield, the plan brings back Bernardo Silva and Güler to add composure to the side’s build-up, with Valverde acting as the main anchor.
Up front, the forward line will rely on the usual attacking trio: Bellingham, Vinícius and Mbappé.
Likely XI
Mundo Deportivo’s predicted starting eleven is:
- Courtois
- Dumfries, Konaté, Huijsen, Cucurella
- Valverde, Bernardo Silva, Güler, Bellingham
- Vinícius, Mbappé
The same source frames it as a team-selection designed to turn early control into goals after the setback against Betis.
