Real Madrid CF have released their starting lineup for their away fixture against RC Celta de Vigo in the La Liga match scheduled for Friday, March 6, 2026.
Softfootball gathered the lineup from Real Madrid’s official X account ahead of the clash at Abanca-Balaídos.
A major talking point from the squad announcement is the absence of star forward Kylian Mbappé, who misses the match due to injury.
Despite the setback, Madrid have named a strong lineup featuring experienced names and several young talents.
Starting XI
1 – Thibaut Courtois
12 – Trent Alexander-Arnold
17 – Raúl Asencio
22 – Antonio Rüdiger
23 – Ferland Mendy
8 – Federico Valverde
15 – Arda Güler
14 – Aurélien Tchouaméni
45 – Thiago Fernández
21 – Brahim Díaz
7 – Vinícius Júnior
Substitutes
Andriy Lunin, Sergio Mestre, Dani Carvajal, Gonzalo, Fran García, Deigo Aguado, Castero, Manuel Angel, Palacios, Lamini.
With Mbappé unavailable due to injury, additional attacking responsibility will likely fall on Vinícius Júnior and Brahim Díaz as Madrid look to secure an important result away from home.
The match comes at a crucial moment in the La Liga title race, with Real Madrid aiming to regain momentum after an inconsistent run of results this season.
