This can be Real Madrid 2026 by Xabi Alonso: an alignment with many changes
In the episode of El Larguero on Tuesday, June 10, Manu Carreño ventured how the Real Madrid alignment will be in the next seasonincluding not only Franco Mastantuono, in the roles not yet a Madrid, but when he returned to the white structure of Álvaro Carreras, who will play the Club World Cup with Benfica.
“Mastantuono will start, will come to play a lot from the beginning. And possibly in an XI holder who will not be far from this at the head of Xabi Alonso. Courtois In the goal, Alexander-Arnold on the right side, Dean Huijsen Con rudiger o con militao In the center and Álvaro Carreras In the left wing, Tchouameni, Bellingham, Valverde y Mastantuonoy Vinicius and Mbappé“it was what Carreño predicted.
This team also seems to predict the sale of Rodrygo and Ferland Mendy or Fran García and leaves Eduardo Camavinga, Arda Guler, Endrick, Raúl Asencio and Brahim Díaz. We would be talking about four new names in the starting team, something that is not seen in the Bernabéu a long time ago in the passage of one season to the other.
Mastantuono, although left -handed, usually plays on the right wing, so he could share attack with Mbappé as centrodlantero and vinicius on the left, plus the arrivals of Bellingham and Valverde from behind. At the same time, Alexander-Arnold's offensive capacity is well known, so he would not miss the Madrid attack.
However, Xabi has so far shown as a more structured DT than Ancelotti and usually used a defense of three men in the Bayer Leverkusen, so he would not surprise something like that with the various zagueros options that Real Madrid will have when recovering Militao and Rudiger, Alexander-Arnold and races (or other footballer) as lanes quite launched to the attack and Tchouameni supporting Vinicius, Mbappé, Bellingham or any other attacker.
Undoubtedly, young people like Mastantuono, Endrick or Guler seem to have more prominence than last season with Ancelotti, with only 141 minutes of Endrick and 147 minutes of Gular in the 14 games of the Champions League.
