Real Madrid's match against Sevilla is going to be a lot tougher than fans think. No matter what form they are in, whether it is good or bad, Sevilla have always proved to be a very difficult team for Real Madrid to face.
The way the team has been playing lately, the Sevilla test will only be tougher, which is why Jose Mourinho needs to start his best eleven for this game.
The best XI does not mean starting the biggest players for this Real Madrid team. It means that you start the players who deserve to start these games based on merit.
Real Madrid had a few really good performances off the bench against Roma in the Champions League, which is why here are three non-negotiable starters for the game at the Bernabeu.
3 non-negotiable starters as Real Madrid prepare for crucial Sevilla clash
Endrick
Endrick was the man of the match against Roma on Wednesday night. He looked incredible on that right wing, dribbling past multiple players to create chances for his teammates. He scored one goal and he indirectly assisted another, and he was a complete menace for the Roma defence for as long as the game was going on.
With Vinícius Júnior's suspension for this game and the three beyond that in La Liga, it will be foolish not to start Endrick on the right wing. He has shown that he is more than capable of handling that spot in the lineup, and playing him when he is in this form will only help Real Madrid against a team like Sevilla.
Arda Guler
Arda Guler was also very good for Real Madrid off the bench. Real Madrid, Los Blancos, scored three goals in the last seven minutes of the match. All three of these goals came from corners, and all of these corners were taken by Guler. The Turkish international got two assists to his name and had an indirect assist to the third one. He was also very good at progressing the ball from deep areas, and he looked fantastic in that position.
Not starting him, despite the fact that he's one of Real Madrid's best players, is going to be foolish, regardless of who plays in the attack. Guler is a midfielder, and he should be starting wherever there is space for him.
Yan Diomande
Yan Diomande did not score against Roma, but he did get an assist and had one of his best performances in the Real Madrid shirt. He was dribbling past opponents at will, something that Real Madrid fans got used to seeing from Vinicius Junior a few years ago. Having that on the left again was brilliant, and that is also exactly why Mourinho should start him.
Mourinho probably will start Diomande on that side because of Vinicius Junior's suspension, but if he's getting any wrong ideas about playing someone else there, he should scrap all of that off and start Tuesday, regardless of Vinicius Junior's suspension situation.
