The whites can’t with Aurélien Tchouaméni, but they can at the last minute with Toni Kroos, who comes into the team at the last minute.

ALL ABOUT LIVERPOOL VS. REAL MADRID OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2022-2023
Main victims in Madrid
Of course, the whites face the game big setback in the middle of the field. It won’t be Aurelien Tchouameni. Not even to this Toni Kroos, who came into the call this afternoon. Both missed the last league match against Osasuna. The German is restored on the horn, before the game at Anfield, but it doesn’t look like it’s coming out of the game. To replace them, Carlo Ancelotti could entrust himself to Eduardo Camavinga and Fede Valverde, that would slow his position from the attack to the center of the field, which would allow access to Rodrygo goes upstairs.
Another option is to play Dani Ceballos, to strengthen the core with Camavinga, Valverde and Luka Modric, which is indisputable. If this happened, the victim would be Rodrygo, who would leave Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior like the two big white stilettos above. On defense, the other big question is whether he will play on the right Dani Carvajal, who starts with a lead, or if ‘Carletto’ trusts Nacho Fernández, your ‘man-for-everything’. Otherwise, Thibaut Courtois plays under the bar, with David Alaba, Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger occupying the other three defensive positions.
In the call, by the way, they entered both Sergio Arribas as Mario Martín and Álvaro Rodríguez, three of Real Madrid Castilla’s best footballers, who has just become the leader of Group 1 of Primera RFEF after Overtaking Alcorcón in the standings. Álvaro already played in the last leg of the match against Osasuna, where he fascinated and made two assists (though one of them was canceled) in the five minutes Ancelotti gave him.
Liverpool, with the great doubt of Darwin Núñez
In Anfield, Madrid will try to beat Liverpool by Jurgen Klopp. A rival that He will not finish the key in the Premier League this year (it is eighth, six points behind the UEFA Europa League positions) but it has a potential beyond doubt. Although the ‘reds’ arrive with a big problem: himThe very important doubt of Darwin Núñez, one of their best footballers and who had to give up against Newcastle last weekend due to injury.
If Darwin couldn’t be, it would be Roberto Firmino who replaced him in attack, where would form with Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo. Otherwise, Joe Gómez and Joel Matip choose to play in the ashes of defense alongside Virgil Van Dijk, while Naby Keita and Stefan Bajcetic, former youth team of Celta, they will fight to play together Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in the middle.
