3 Real Madrid players in danger for the Clasico against Barça

For the reception of Celta de Vigo this Sunday, several Real Madrid players must avoid yellow cards at all costs.

Ancelotti’s men play big, very big this afternoon. For the reception of Celta de Vigo, the Merengues are obliged to take the 3 points, and some players will have to avoid being warned, under penalty of being suspended for the following liga day, the Clasico in Montjuic.

Under pressure, back to the wall, without a net … there is no shortage of qualifiers to define this meeting which will be played at Bernabéu from 2:00 p.m. FC Barcelona won yesterday against Valladolid (1-2), which obliges Madrid to win to reduce the gap by 7 points which temporarily separates them from the Flick team.

For this match, in the absence of Rodrygo (package due to a feverish state), Ancelotti decided to opt for a 4-4-2 with Vinicius and Mbappé in attack. A new opportunity has been given to Güler, who will evolve in the middle alongside Valverde, Ceballos and Jude Bellingham.

Behind, Lucas Vazquez is holder on the right, with to complete the defensive line Raúl Asencio, Fran Garcia and Aurélien Tchouaméni. A revised defense to compensate for the many absences that have occurred in recent days in Madrid.

In addition to the obligation to prevail against the Galicians this afternoon, the Madrid will also have to be careful not to receive yellow card from referee Gil Manzano. There are three players who this Sunday are under the threat of a suspension for the Clasico for accumulations of yellow cards: Tchouaméni first, Captain Lucas Vazquez, but also the midfielder Dani Ceballos.

All three are holders to face the Celta and taking into account the very tense situation in the workforce, with already many absences to deplore, no need to say that the slightest additional suspension would considerably contradict the plans of Ancelotti to deal with FC Barcelona on May 11.
