Three Doubts in Arbeloa’s Mind Before Facing Manchester City

Real Madrid will host Manchester City on Wednesday evening in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, in a match that will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Before the anticipated match between the two teams, there are some uncertainties surrounding the starting lineup of the royal team, as the coaching staff led by Álvaro Arbeloa is considering several options for more than one position on the field.

The first question that arises in the midfield is whether to start Thiago Beitarich again alongside Tchouaméni and Valverde, or to give Eduardo Camavinga the opportunity to appear in the starting lineup, after his absence from the Getafe match in La Liga.

In the offensive line, the discussion revolves around which player will accompany Vinicius Junior at the front, with the coach choosing between Gonzalo Garcia and Brahim Diaz, with greater chances for Gonzalo to start from the beginning.

In the defensive line, after confirming Ferland Mendy’s participation as the left-back following the announcement of Carreras’ injury, the question remains about the identity of the defender who will partner with Antonio Rüdiger at the center of defense. Competing for this position are Raúl Asensio and Dean Housen.
