Real Madrid: 5 possible MOTM candidates against Inter Milan

Carlos Casemiro:

Well, as much as I would love for Casemiro to have some rest, it is very likely that he will start in the midweek clash. It is going to be a very difficult game for Real Madrid, but if they want to win the game, Carlos Casemiro has to be the obvious choice as a starter.

The Brazilian is a top defensive midfielder, arguably the best in this position. The 29-year-old has some impressive statistics as he manages to complete 2.8 tackles, 1 interception, and 1.5 clearances per game in the four matches he has featured so far.

Apart from this, Casemiro is very dominating in the air (especially during the set-pieces) as he has won eight duels in the four games. Just like the last season when he was the second-highest scorer for the club, he can contribute enough with the goals to make a difference in the offense.

He can later be subbed off in the game so that he gets some rest for the next game, with Antonio Blanco being a possible replacement. But that does not mean that he cannot be a contender for the Man of The Match award.
