Real Madrid have published their starting lineup for the upcoming match against Talavera in the Copa del Rey’s Round of 32.
Real Madrid predicted XI: Lunin, Jimenez, Huijsen, Carreras, Fran Garcia, Ceballos,
Güler, Mastantuono, Endrick, Mbappé, Gonzalo.
Mbappé shockingly features in the starting lineup against a Segunda División B team. While he missed last week’s match against Manchester City, this could’ve been another opportunity for him to get some rest. Mastantuono returns to the starting lineup while Castilla’s Jimenez starts in the right-back spot.
