Possible Real Madrid XI against Real Sociedad, according to MARCA

Real Madrid C.F.

Courtois appears as the fixed option in goal, with no debate. From there, the details come in: Trent Alexander-Arnold would come in at right-back ahead of Dumfries, while Rüdiger would form a partnership with Konaté at the heart of the defense, leaving Huijsen out of the starting XI. Cucurella would complete the back line on the left side.

Camavinga comes into midfield

The most striking change would be in the middle of the park. Marca lists Camavinga as a starter alongside Fede Valverde, a choice that would push Bernardo Silva out. The absence of Tchouameni continues to shape the construction of Madrid's midfield.

In attack, the focus remains on the right wing. Arda Güler starts with the advantage, although Diomande continues as an alternative for that role. Up front, Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappé are listed as the main pieces of Mourinho's offensive plan.

With this scenario, the likely XI for the Real Madrid match against the Real Sociedad would be made up of Courtois; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Konaté, Rüdiger, Cucurella; Valverde, Camavinga; Arda Güler or Diomande, Bellingham, Vinicius; and Mbappé.

The three changes highlighted by Marca compared with the initially expected lineup would be Trent for Dumfries, Rüdiger for Huijsen, and Camavinga for Bernardo Silva.
