A New Season of Real Madrid Commences! The Venue: The History of Winners: Squad List: Out Players: Alaba Match Notes: Real Madrid begins their 24/25 season against Atalanta who won the Europa League over Bayer Leverkusen. Kylian Mbappe Lottin is set to make his Real Madrid debut. Atalanta made some marquee signings including Charles de Ketalaere and Nicolo Zaniolo. HALA MADRID!! THE KYLIAN MBAPPE DEBUT!! LETS START THE SEASON WITH A TROPHY!!!
I heard Atalanta man marked Leverkusen all over the pitch. I wonder if they will try that against Vinicius and Mbappe.
🚨 NEW: The idea is for Luka Modrić to START tomorrow, alongside Jude Bellingham & Fede Valverde. @Rodra10_97 pic.twitter.com/QhjeU3nJfC— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) August 13, 2024 All sorts of different predictions coming out
I suspect Modric is starting tomorrow in some form of convoluted DM/AM role where he will go back to retrieve the ball behind Bellingham/Valverde but also end up in the 10 role in front of them. I don't think he is there to defend but to make sure the ball circulates now that there is no Kroos. He will probably get subbed out by the 60th minute.
I thought I read Ancelotti was going to start the Champions League final side. Modric in place of Kroos, Militao in place of Nacho. Seems fitting
Atalanta will be a tough test, I really like Gasparini’s work with them, and the Zaniolo transfer is interesting! Will give us a nice view of where the team is ahead of the La Liga start.
Camavinga unavailable raises the chances Mbappe starts, but Carlo can still deploy Vini Rodry Jude Modric Tchou Fede if he wishes to avoid starting Kylian
I felt the same way when I first saw Ronaldo, CR7, Saviola and Kaka in white. And I always found it weird to rewatch the 2014 CL Final. During Bale's goal, TC leaped up in despair the instant the ball found the net. His leap told me that the game was over. That moment lingered in my memory ever since. However, upon rewatching it again, TC now represents the face of Real Madrid.
What a great feeling to be back! Missed this. Just get the win. Trophy 1 of quite a few hopefully this season. Would love for a big Vini tonight....Gotta dead that "Rodri for Ballon d'Or" crap. Given the starters only had a week of training, Brahim, Arda and LV will probably play a part today. Kylian is here! Vamos
🚨 Real Madrid's expected XI:Courtois;Carvajal, Militão, Rüdiger, Mendy;Valverde, Tchouaméni;Bellingham;Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vinicius Jr. @marca pic.twitter.com/FHYyfgSTlQ— Madrid Xtra (@MadridXtra) August 14, 2024
Thank you! I appreciate that. As always, I’m open to feedback if the RMBS family wants different content on game threads. I enjoy making them, but I could always use new ideas if anyone feels there is something missing.

Awesome thread starter, thank you Miami. Great way to start another season with this wonderful football club. Start of the footballing season always feels great, no matter how many times we’ve seen it. Wishing all the Madridistas a great season in your personal lives. Very excited to see Mbappe suit up for us. Hala Madrid!
