4-1-2-1-2 Real Madrid Predicted Lineup Against Celta Vigo:

Defense:

Real Madrid’s backline against Celta Vigo promises both quality and dynamism. Thibaut Courtois is expected to feature between the sticks, bringing his world-class reflexes and calm presence. Lucas Vázquez, stepping in at right-back, will look to use his experience. In central defense, young Asencio will pair up with Aurélien Tchouameni, who will be playing out of position due to the absence of Rudiger and Alaba. On the left, Fran Garcia adds a touch of flair, looking to balance his attacking runs with the discipline needed to contain Celta’s threats down the flank.

Midfield:

In the middle of the park, Madrid’s trio brings a perfect mix of muscle, mind, and magic. Dani Ceballos will anchor the midfield, breaking up play and launching attacks with pinpoint passes. Luka Modric, still the heartbeat of the team, controls the tempo with his trademark vision and poise. Federico Valverde will provide the energy, cover ground and make the surging runs into the penalty box.

Attack:

Up front, Madrid boasts a front three that’s as electric as it is dangerous. Jude Bellingham, operating as a false nine, will offer sharp movement and clever finishes. On the left, Vinicius Junior will look to torment defenders with his explosive speed and flair. And on the right, Kylian Mbappé—cutting inside with deadly intent—brings a clinical edge and relentless pace.
