Antonio Rudiger, the central defender of Madrid's "Real" team, will make his first appearance in the starting lineup after a long time. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The German player last played in the starting lineup at the end of April. At that time, the "cream-colored" team lost to "Barcelona" in the final of the Spanish Cup, and the central defender was sent off due to aggressive actions from the bench.
Rudiger came on as a substitute in the last match against "Pachuca" in the final minutes. Now, coach Xabi Alonso has decided to field him in the starting lineup for the match against "Red Bull Salzburg." This game will start at 04:00 Moscow time.
Rudiger will form a pair in defense with Din Huysen. On the flanks, Frans Garcia and Trent Alexander-Arnold will play.
In goal, Thibaut Courtois will be responsible. In midfield, Jude Bellingham, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Federico Valverde will take the field. In the attack line, Vinicius Junior, Gonzalo Garcia, and Arda Güler will operate.
The team composition is strong and balanced, aimed at demonstrating effective play in the center and on the flanks. Rudiger's presence in the starting lineup in this match will further strengthen "Real's" defense.
