Real Madrid will have 4 fixtures in October – and two of them are going to be really big.
Oct 19: Shakhtar Donetsk vs Real Madrid (Champions League)
Oct 24: Barcelona vs Real Madrid (La Liga)
Oct 27: Real Madrid vs Osasuna (La Liga)
Oct 31: Elche vs Real Madrid (La Liga)
Let's think about the best eleven to win all four clashes.
Defence
It will take some time for Dani Carvajal to fully recover, so Nacho remains the most reliable option at right-back given Fede Valverde's defensive struggles.
We bet Carlo Ancelotti won't take any risks with Ferland Mendy, so it's going to be Miguel Gutierrez who'll regain his starting spot for the next few games until the Frenchman is fully fit.
The Alaba-Militao centre-back pairing remains the best available.
Midfield
It's been a while since we've seen the Modric-Casemiro-Kroos trio start altogether.
The Whites' midfield definitely lacks solidity these days, so starting the experienced trio may be the right way to recover it.
Attack
Few options here, with Eden Hazard picking up a minor injury and Marco Asensio unavailable. Gareth Bale hasn't yet recovered as well.
We expect Rodrygo to do his Champions League magic again while there should be no questions regarding the picks of Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema.
❓ What changes would you make here and why?
