Squad List: Venue: Visit Mallorca Estadi Out Players: Benzema, Militao, Hazard, Mendy, Vazquez Match Notes: In under 72 hours from our game against Valencia, Madrid travels to Mallorca. The Pirates have had a strong campaign, currently 10th in the table. Mallorca have conceded the 6th least amount of goals in La Liga, a strong defensive record. However, they are in the bottom 5 in terms of goals scored, a poor offensive record. Mallorca deploys a back 5 system and have the 4th lowest possession percentage in the league. Expect a parked bus. Rodrygo is expected to replace Benzema in the starting lineup. I would expect Asensio to start as well. HALA MADRID Y NADA MAS!!
How bad are our forwards in castilla that you're happy to go into a game with Mariano as your only forward on the bench? I'm not even saying play them - just have them there as an option.
Just a reminder that Carlo asked for a forward right at the beginning and was rejected by JAS and Perez. This club has other priorities now, who cares about a competitive football squad.
I mean I guess they prefer to keep Alvaro Rodriguez playing a lot of minutes for Castilla then have him on the bench for the first team, but it’s definitely a choice. And not very smart at that.
Raul seems like he might get Castilla promoted on his third try lol, Perez and Carlo tryna let him have that.
Modric and Kroos starting on the bench for the second time this season if I remember correctly. 📋✅ ¡Nuestro 𝗫𝗜 inicial 🆚 @RCD_Mallorca!@UnicajaBanco | #RCDMallorcaRealMadrid pic.twitter.com/hlnHbLvK45— Real Madrid C.F. (@realmadrid) February 5, 2023
My wishlist: 1. Win somehow 2. No injuries 3. Vini scores a hat-trick 4. Carvajal with a crunching tackle on Raillo
We can't complain about this XI. Just got to suffocate the hell out of them. Maffeo is obviously tasked with rattling Vini so having Cama on his side will be great.
🚨🚨| BREAKING: Courtois is OUT for today's game. @MarioCortegana #rmalive— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) February 5, 2023 Discomfort in his leg during warm up. Lunin time
Good line up, luckily Toni and Luka told Carlo they're not playing today, let's get the 3 points LOL when Luka and Toni start, these guys are always starting and dictating what they do, when they don't other than these guys the bench is a joke, there seem to be no positives at all........
Mallorca fans were chanting Raillo Raillo before the game started. Now they’re whistling every Vini touch
