Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti made a bold choice by starting both Arda Güler and Endrick in the important La Liga match against Getafe. This decision comes just days before the Copa del Rey final and shows the coach’s confidence in the club’s young talents.
WHAT HAPPENED?
On Wednesday evening, Real Madrid had a new lineup against Getafe, featuring Turkish midfielder Arda Güler and Brazilian forward Endrick from the start. The team included other big names like Vinicius Jr., Brahim Diaz, Fran Garcia, and Lucas Vazquez. Key players like Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rudiger started on the bench. Madrid won the match 1-0, resting several regular starters before the cup final. Endrick, in his first La Liga start, played with Vinicius Jr. in attack. Güler joined Valverde and Tchouaméni in midfield.
THE SEASON SO FAR
Real Madrid are in a tight La Liga title race, trailing Barcelona by four points with five matches left. The decision to rotate the squad shows the importance of the upcoming Copa del Rey final against Barcelona and the busy schedule. Endrick and Güler are seen as the future of Madrid. This game showed their ability to handle pressure at the top level. Getafe have struggled in the lower half of the table, fighting for safety. With Kylian Mbappé not fit, Ancelotti had to rely on young talents in attack and they proved a good choice as they secured the win with Guler’s goal and Endrick’s constant threat in attack.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR REAL MADRID?
The focus now shifts to the Copa del Rey final against rivals Barcelona on Saturday. There are fitness concerns for key players like Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba. Both are unlikely to play after injuries against Getafe. Madrid are determined to win silverware after being out of the Champions League. The growth of Endrick and Güler brings hope for both the present and future. Their next La Liga match is crucial to maintain pressure on Barcelona as the season nears its end.
