Zinedine Zidane's coached team is set to face their second season match in the Spanish "La Liga" championship today.
The first round unfolded very successfully for the country's champions - they achieved a 3-0 victory against La Coruna's "Deportivo". Tonight, the "White" team of Madrid will face the "Valencia" club, which has been a tough opponent for the capital's team for several years.
Z. Zidane is worried about the center-back line - three footballers will not be able to play against "Valencia". Sergio Ramos is missing the match due to suspension, and Raphael Varane and Jesus Vallejo have not recovered from injuries.
Therefore, Z. Zidane has only one healthy center-back today - Nacho. The coach confirmed that the center-back duo with Nacho will be formed by one of the defensive midfielders - Casemiro or Marcos Llorente.
It is worth noting that "Real" is also forced to play without Cristiano Ronaldo, who received a five-game suspension.
The match between "Valencia" and "Real" at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium will start today at 23:15 Lithuania time.
