Real Madrid team to face Arsenal ‘leaked’ as Carlo Ancelotti makes two huge calls

The Real Madrid starting lineup for their crucial second leg against Arsenal in the Champions League as they look to overcome a 3-0 deficit.

Arsenal head to the Bernabeu with an unimaginable lead following their dream performance at the Emirates last week.

After a cagey first half, the deadlock was broken by not one but two spectacular free kicks from Declan Rice, with Jude Bellingham claiming Rice's heroics were the only surprising thing about the game.

"I think the free-kicks were surprising," Bellingham smiled.

"Fair play to him. That was probably the only thing though (that was surprising), we knew they were a really good team, we knew they had a really good manager and were going to be organised," he added.

Ahead of last week's clash at the Emirates, Madrid's eleven was leaked almost 24 hours before kick-off and it appears to have happened once again.

According to Relevo, Carlo Ancelotti is set to make two changes with Dani Ceballos replacing Luca Modric in the middle of the park, and Aurélien Tchouaméni replacing the suspended Eduardo Camavinga.

Raúl Asencio is set to start at the right of defense, with Tchouameni coming in at the centre of defense.

The expected lineup is as follows: Courtois, Asencio, Tchouameni, Rüdiger, Alaba, Valverde, Ceballos, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Mbappé, Vini.

Madrid have never come back from this deficit before after a first leg, but if anyone can do it, it's Madrid.

Ahead of the game, Bellingham admitted that the word he has heard the most from the Madrid camp is 'remontada' which is the Spanish phrase for a comeback.

"I've heard it a million times since last week," he added.

"I've seen a million videos online made by fans and you guys. It's really motivating stuff. It's a night that is made for Real Madrid, a night that would go down in history, but also it would be something people are familiar with in this part of the world.

"Hopefully we can add another special night," he added.
