Mourinho picks Real Madrid’s strongest lineup against Valencia in LaLiga

Real Madrid are set to face Valencia in the twelfth round of LaLiga with their strongest available lineup, according to the source, suggesting Mourinho wants to keep the team’s winning run going. The report said Real Madrid had won their last eight matches across LaLiga and the Champions League.

The report quoted Luis Nieto as saying that Mourinho had settled on the lineup that gives the team balance, pointing to Güler’s flexible roles and the midfield’s ability to win the ball back and launch transitions. It also attributed to Tomás Roncero the view that this was the strongest lineup, and that selecting it indicated LaLiga was Mourinho’s priority.

Valencia, meanwhile, made two changes, according to the report, and lined up with five defenders, with Sadiq returning to the attack. The team had beaten Elche in the previous round, with Danjuma and Sadiq taking part.
