Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Osasuna - Copa del Rey final
Real Madrid will look to secure their third trophy of the season on Saturday night when they face Osasuna in the Copa del Rey final in Seville.
Los Blancos have already registered successes in the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup and have a fascinating Champions League semi final with Manchester City coming up. They have, however, slipped down to third in La Liga behind Atletico Madrid in recent weeks.
Here's the side Carlo Ancelotti could pick to face Osasuna, who currently sit tenth in Spain's top flight.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Osasuna (4-3-3)
GK: Thibaut Courtois - Has delivered brilliant performances in finals before, but will hope to be largely untested with his side strong favourites.
RB: Dani Carvajal - Sent off for a second bookable offence against Real Sociedad and protested the decision on social media.
CB: Eder Militao - Made a poor error which led to Takefusa Kubo opening the scoring on Tuesday.
CB: Antonio Rudiger - Has had an up and down time of it at Real, but did previously assert "Everything is perfect here" when asked if he regretted leaving Chelsea.
LB: Nacho Fernandez - Ferland Mendy and David Alaba are both in the squad but carrying injuries of varying significance, so utlity man Nacho could fill in on the left.
CM: Federico Valverde - His drive and tenacity in midfield will be important in setting the tone on Saturday night.
CM: Aurelien Tchouameni - Has been linked with an early Real exit this summer but is expected to remain at the Bernabeu.
