Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 will start the Copa del Rey final against Bar\u00e7a as a substitute. Get to know Real Madrid’s XI at La Cartuja!<\/h2> \r\n

OFFICIAL<\/strong>: Real Madrid will face FC Barcelona<\/a> without Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 in their XI. Carlo Ancelotti has opted for a conservative lineup, with four midfielders and without a ‘9’, to try to nullify the Blaugrana’s game.<\/p>

The French striker has failed to recover from his discomfort in his right ankle<\/a>, which he has been carrying since the return leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal (1-2). The Bondy native will finally be a substitute and could play some minutes in the second half.<\/p>

However, the Madrid press assured since Friday afternoon that ‘Kiki’ is at 60-65% of his physical condition<\/strong>, so it would not be surprising if he does not even have minutes in the game.<\/p>

In principle, it was expected that Endrick would enter in his place, but ‘Carletto’ opted for an XI with four midfielders. Again, Jude Bellignham will play as an attacking midfielder, behind Rodrygo and Vinicius.<\/p>
