RM vs BRU Dream11 Team : Real Madrid step out in pursuit of their first win in the Champions League today
Real Madrid’s fall in the Champions League is reminiscent of how much the side have regressed over the course of the last year. Unfortunately for them, the side were unable to put behind them the horrendous showings of the last year as they crumbled in this editions opening match to fall apart in a defeat which saw them face massive flak.
Dismissed and decimated by PSG in their league opener, Real Madrid’s 3-0 defeat on the night saw immense backlash be directed at the side far their display. Not was not just the defeat but rather the manner it came about in, a performance where Real Madrid lacked heart and valour with the side failing to conjure a single shot on target at PSG’s goal.
Being ripped apart and lamented from all quarters of the footballing fraternity, the defeat however did do one good thing to the side. It might have just acted as the defining moment for the side with the fallouts from that defeat seeing Real Madrid return to addressing their defensive issues more seriously to go on a three match successive spree of cleansheets in La Liga.
It’s a set of events which has held them in good stead in the league, seeing them overhaul what was an underachieving start to now sit in the echelons of La Liga. Coming into this match upbeat, the side will be looking to make amends for their false start in the Champions League when they take on Cub Brugge, a team they’ll be quietly confident of shredding to pieces and walking away with a momentous result.
Although Club Brugge are by no means an easy task with the side undefeated in their previous 5 fixtures including their league opener, the enormity of Real Madrid should be too big for them. The side are slowly and steadily managing t return to form as well and step back into their revered statue, an outcome which doesn’t bode well for Club Brugge today. Expect them to throw the kitchen sink and more at Real Madrid but failing to win this one.

RM vs BRU Dream11 Goal-Keeper
With Real Madrid set to shuffle things around and rejig their playing 11 for today’s encounter, the likelihood of Thibaut Courtois playing this one is a high one despite it. And with the side having registered a slew of cleansheets over the course of the last week, another one looks to be coming their way especially with Brugge not looking the most menacing of goal scoring sides.
RM vs BRU Dream11 Defenders
With Real Madrid finally understanding that their crumbling and wavering defence was the first thing which needed to be fixed if the side were to taste success in the attacking side of things, their defenders make for excellent proposition and value for this clash. This sees us bring in an entire trivalent from their side, choosing Dan Carvajal and both the CBs in the form of Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane with a cleansheet looking extremely likely for them today.
The solitary pick of fullback Clinton Mata comes into our side as well from the opposing side.
RM vs BRU Dream11 Midfielders
Luka Modric returning from injury should see the midfielder be reinstated in the Real Madrid side, seeing us get him in for this encounter along with Eden Hazard and Isco. Eden Hazard is someone who has become the latest player to face the brunt of impatient Real Madrid supporters who have taken no time in speaking out their qualms with his lacklustre displays in the league till now but given his colossal quality, a goal looks to be coming.
From Club Brugge meanwhile, we finally have our first players come in for this encounter here in the form of Krepin Diatta and Hans Vanaken.
RM vs BRU Dream11 Strikers
We are going to close out our side with the lone selection of one striker seeing David Okereke come into our side from Club Brugge for this one. The striker is going to hold immense value for his side in this one, the one player who can traverse his way past the goal and craft something of worth for them in the attacking side of things, making him a safe pick for this one.
Captain And Vice-Captain
We are going to repose faith in Hazard for today, making him the captain while Carvajal is being made the vice-captain.
