Real Madrid Hosts Valencia Today: Xabi Alonso, Vinicius Jr. Reconcile

UPDATE: Real Madrid is set to face Valencia today at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu at 4 p.m. ET in a crucial LaLiga match. This comes on the heels of an electrifying 2-1 victory over Barcelona in El Clasico, propelling the Blancos to the top of the league standings with a five-point lead.

In a press briefing earlier today, coach Xabi Alonso confirmed that there will be player rotations ahead of the upcoming Champions League clash against Liverpool on Tuesday. “There might be rotations, but not with Tuesday in mind,” Alonso stated. “In LaLiga, you can’t afford to drop points. We’re focused on Valencia and finishing this block well.”

Additionally, Alonso addressed the earlier tension with Vinicius Junior, who showed visible frustration during the Barcelona match. “On Wednesday, we had a meeting and he was impeccable. I was very satisfied, and from that moment, the matter was settled,” he emphasized. “Our focus is on the pitch now.”

Fans are eager to see how the team will lineup as they aim to extend their lead in LaLiga. The expected starting XI includes stars like Thibaut Courtois, Kylian Mbappe, and Jude Bellingham for Real Madrid, while Valencia will feature Arnaut Danjuma and Lucas Beltran.
