Normally an injury like the bruised thigh that will keep Kylian Mbappe out for a few weeks would be great concern for a team. Except this is Real Madrid, which won the Liga and the Champions League without Mbappe last season, and Carlo Ancelotti has no shortage of reinforcements. "We can play with three forwards in a 4-4-2, with Vinícius [Júnior] or Rodrygo on the right wing," says Ancelotti, who if anything is spoiled for choice. Atleti, however, is one of the few teams in Spain that go right at Real Madrid, as Diego Simeone is expecting to soon get a dividend from ew signee Julian Alvarez, over from Man City in the August window. In the meantime, Simeone still has Antoine Griezmann, another new add in Conor Gallagher, and a slew of other familiar faces never likely to role over in El Derbi.
