  /  autty

Carlo Ancelotti has named his first Real Madrid official line-up since returning as coach, picking a team to take on Rangers this Sunday evening in Glasgow. Los Blancos already met Fuenlabrada and Rayo Vallecano behind closed doors, but this is their first official friendly of pre-season.

The Italian is missing most members of his senior squad, either due to injury or the fact that players were away representing their countries this summer. Therefore, youth teamers Victor Chust and Antonio Blanco are in the team, while various backups are given an opportunity.

Marcelo will captain the side and lead his teammates out in this match. He has worn the armband before, but this will be his first match since taking over as captain on a full-time basis.

The confirmed starting XI is as follows: Andriy Lunin; Alvaro Odriozola, Nacho, Victor Chust, Marcelo; Antonio Blanco, Martin Odegaard, Isco; Lucas Vazquez, Luka Jovic, Rodrygo.
