Real Madrid are set to make significant changes to their backline ahead of tonight’s crucial UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Arsenal at the Santiago Bernabéu. According to Marca, Lucas Vázquez will start at right back, while David Alaba is expected to feature on the left.
These adjustments come as manager Carlo Ancelotti looks to find the right formula to overturn a 3-0 deficit from the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal dominated that encounter with two goals from Declan Rice and another from Mikel Merino, putting the Premier League side in a commanding position to advance.
The inclusion of Vázquez and Alaba suggests Real Madrid are seeking both defensive stability and offensive support from their full-backs as they aim for a historic comeback. All eyes will be on Madrid tonight as the Spanish giants fight to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
