Official: Changes aplenty as Real Madrid name XI to face Celta Vigo | OneFootball

The XI of players set to be depended upon by Real Madrid to get the better of Celta Vigo this evening has been unveiled online.

And it showcases the fact that Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff are not taking the fixture lightly.

Real are of course primed to return to action in short order.

Still smarting on the back of a 5-2 drubbing at the hands of arch rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup over the weekend, Los Blancos have turned their attentions towards matters in the Copa del Rey.

A meeting with the aforementioned Celta Vigo lies in wait, with a place in the competition’s quarter-finals on the line.

And, as alluded to above, the group of players entrusted by Carlo Ancelotti to get the job done on Thursday evening was a short time ago revealed.

It features several changes, with the likes of Andriy Lunin, Dani Ceballos, Raúl Asencio and Brahim Díaz stepping into starting roles.

But star names also remain front and centre, with Vinícius Jr. and Kylian Mbappé in from the off, too.
