How Real Madrid could line up for LaLiga matchday 3 clash against Mallorca

Real Madrid host Mallorca on Matchday 3 in LaLiga EA Sports League. Los Blancos have bagged two wins from two and are still yet to concede in their opening matches.

Apart from a solid rear-guard, Kylian Mbappé has started the season in flying form and has bagged three goals. The intention for Xabi Alonso’s men is to go into the international break with nine points out of a possible nine and the Basque coach is set to field his strongest side.

Courtois will man the sticks and has enjoyed a quiet start to the start of the 2025-26 season. Fresh from his Spain call-up, Carvajal will play at right back with Carreras on the left. Huijsen is a sure bet to start at the heart of the Madrid defence with a question mark as to who will partner the former Bournemouth player.

Against Osasuna on Matchday 1, Militao played at centre back with Rüdiger starting in Oviedo. Given that Militao will not be travelling with the Brazil national side for the international break, it seems likely that he will get the nod but expect both men to be fighting for a place in the starting lineup in the coming months.

Tchouameni, Valverde, and Güler are currently undisputed key players in the Real Madrid central area and it will be interesting how Xabi Alonso responds when Jude Bellingham returns to the squad.

Kylian Mbappe with his three goals in two games will lead the forward line with Mastantuono set to start on the right flank after a good showing in his game-time against Osasuna. The young Argentine then stated in the trip to Asturias and seems set to do the same on Saturday.

The left wing poses another question as the Basque coach has to decide if Vinicius or Rodrygo starts. Logic dictates that it’s Vini’s turn after his goal, assist and solid performance from the bench against Oviedo.
