Real Madrid predicted lineup for Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund
Los Blancos will be looking to lift their 15th UCL trophy
Real Madrid are looking to win their 15th UCL title when they face off against Borussia Dortmund in the final of the UEFA Champions League 2023-24. They have been the dominant force in the competition historically and hence are termed as the ‘Kings of Europe’.
Real Madrid has had tough resistance on their way to the final. They faced a dominant and attacking Manchester City side who were relentless in the attack in the second leg of the quarter-final at home. However, Real Madrid managed to hold the fort in regular time and managed to brush them off in the penalty shootout. In the semi-final, they again mounted a historical comeback at home against Bayern Munich in the second leg out of nowhere.
Joselu’s goals gave them a late pass to the final of the UEFA Champions League and they are definitely the favourites in the final given their stature in the competition. In this article, let us take a look at the predicted playing XI of Real Madrid in the final against Dortmund.
Real Madrid Prediction line-up (Formation 4-3-1-2)
GK: Thibaut Courtois
Courtois has recovered from injury which has kept him out of the season and will take the place of Lunin in the playing XI. Lunin has been sensational and has played an integral role in Real Madrid’s progression to the final of the UCL.
Moreover, it was reported that Lunin was down with a flu last week. So, all in all, Courtois will make his way back to the playing XI.
RB: Dani Carvajal
Dani Carvajal has been an integral part of the Real Madrid line up this season. He has been an out and out starter for the Los Blancos, having played in 40 matches in all competitions. He has scored 5 goals and assisted in 5. However, in 9 UCL games, he has not managed to score any goal but has assisted in one goal. He will definitely start at right back in the final.
CB: Nacho Fernández
The captain, Nacho, will definitely start at the heart of the defence. His performance has swiftly improved as the season has progressed. He will yet again be expected to lead his side in the final. Nacho has been part of 44 games in this season and has managed to keep 19 clean sheets for Real Madrid.
