Real Madrid projected lineup vs Espanyol: How will Jose Mourinho set up Los Blancos?

With a number of new signings at his disposal, how will the veteran manager set up his team in his first match back at the helm?

Real Madrid has welcomed Jose Mourinho back to lead the team, following their unsuccessful pursuit of the La Liga title. Along with the seasoned manager, the club has bolstered their squad with new signings such as Ivory Coast forward Yan Diomande, midfielder Bernardo Silva, and a revamped defensive lineup featuring World Cup winner Marc Cucarella, Denzel Dumfries, and Ibrahima Konaté.

As Real Madrid prepares to face their city rivals, Barcelona, in the upcoming La Liga match, the manager faces the challenge of integrating the fresh additions into the existing roster, particularly with star players like Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior, who have extended their contracts with the club. The match, scheduled for August 22 at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, promises to be a significant clash between two storied Spanish football giants.
