The Real Madrid head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has announced Real Madrid’s squad for the highly anticipated El Clásico against Barcelona, set for Saturday.

The team welcomes back Brahim Díaz after a lengthy injury absence, but will miss key players like Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba due to injuries.

Real Madrid’s squad against Barcelona:

Goalkeepers: Lunin, Fran González and Sergio Mestre.

Defenders: Militão, Lucas V., Vallejo, Fran García, Rüdiger and Mendy.

Midfielders: Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde, Modrić, Tchouameni, Arda Güler and Ceballos.

However, Ancelotti underscored the importance of maintaining focus and handling pressure against a robust Barcelona side, who currently lead La Liga.

This match promises to be a crucial encounter as both teams vie for dominance in Spanish football.
