Real Madrid Versus Las Palmas Line Up: Three Changes And Different Tactics

When the defending champions face Las Palmas at the Bernabeu in a La Liga clash on Sunday, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti will be forced to make a big change to his attack because of Vinicius Jr. serving the last match of his suspension.

The Brazilian was sent off on January 3 during an eventual 2-1 comeback win against Valencia, and won’t be allowed to play in the league again until next weekend when Los Blancos travel to Valladolid.

Before that, Carlo Ancelotti’s men must see off a foe that recently beat their title rival FC Barcelona at home to close out 2024, and the Italian experts a stern test.

“You have to compete in all the league games,” Ancelotti said at a prematch press conference on Saturday, where he took a swipe back at Atletico Madrid counterpart Diego Simeone.
