Almaty ‘

Gilabola.com – Real Madrid are determined to rise and return to the victory path when they meet Kairat Almaty, Tuesday night September 30, 2025, after suffering an embarrassing defeat in the match against Atletico.

Alonso made important changes

This will be Real Madrid’s second Champions League match this season, after they started this competition with a narrow victory over Marseille.

Ahead of the Kailat Almaty, Madrid announced the composition of their core players, which showed some important changes because Xabi Alonso tried hard to overcome the many injured players.

Thibart Courtois will be Madrid’s mainstay goalkeeper as usual, but the back line gets a total change.

Namely, Raul Asencio became a right -back – replacing Federico Valverde, who before the match admitted that the position was not one of his favorite positions.

Fran Garcia entered into the composition of Madrid players in the left back position, replacing Alvaro Carreras. In the middle defense, Dean Huijsen is still maintained by Alonso, but he will duet with David Alaba.

Vinicius Becomes Team Captain

In midfield, Dani Ceballos will enter the starting XI Madrid. The former Arsenal star will duet with Aurelien Tchouameni.

In the attack line, Vinicius Junior became the team captain in the middle of the absence of several key players, including Dani Carvajal, who was absent due to a red card.

The Brazilian international will duet with Franco Mastantuono and Kylian Mbappe, who are in their best performance this season.

Eder Militao Injury Again

Previously reported, Carvajal could not be played after he received a red card in the match against Marseille on the first matchday of the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Eder Militao added a long list of injured Los Blancos players, after experiencing problems in the derby against Atletico Madrid last weekend.

Now, both of them join with other big names that have already pulled over such as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy.

Mbappe doesn’t start a starter?

Of course, this condition must make Alonso have to rearrange the formation of his team, even though he also emphasized that whoever he plays will provide fierce resistance.

While according to ASAlonso will actually rest Mbappe in this match against Kairat Almaty, so he will not be a starter for Los Blancos.

Vinicius and Mastantoono will most likely be a starter in the attack line, with the possibility of Gonzalo Garcia joining them.
