  "account": "Real Madrid has unveiled their starting lineup for the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu. Manager Jose Mourinho has made several notable changes to the team's setup, with a specific focus on the first El Clasico of the season against Barcelona scheduled for Sunday. Eduardo Camavinga, who has had limited playing time this season, will make his first start for Los Blancos, partnering with Bernardo Silva in a double pivot formation.\n\nVinicius Jr. has also been recalled to the starting XI, having missed the league game against Sevilla due to suspension. He will play on the left wing, replacing Yan Diomande. Arda Guler will return to the right flank after previously featuring in the double pivot at the weekend, while Jude Bellingham remains in his attacking midfielder role, operating behind Kylian Mbappe.\n\nDefensively, Federico Valverde will start in the right-back position, ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Denzel Dumfries. Alvaro Carreras takes the place of Marc Cucurella at left-back, and Antonio Rudiger partners Dean Huijsen at centre-back in the absence of Ibrahima Konate. Thibaut Courtois will continue to be the goalkeeper for Real Madrid.",
