On November 27, Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League, and while their immediate focus is on the upcoming match against LeganĂ©s, Carlo Ancelotti is already strategizing for the critical encounter. With Rodrygo sidelined due to injury, Ibrahimâs role in the starting lineup has become a key consideration.
Ibrahim, who had a limited role last season, has seen his fortunes turn around. His improvement and increased involvement have made him a crucial figure in Ancelottiâs plans, particularly for this match. With Rodrygo unavailable, Ibrahim is expected to step in as an ideal alternative, potentially starting in a 4-3-3 formation, as Ancelotti looks to maintain attacking fluidity while strengthening the midfield.
Ancelotti had previously acknowledged that he hadn’t given Ibrahim enough opportunities, but now, with a significant injury to Rodrygo, Ibrahimâs versatility and dedication to the team have made him the go-to choice. His ability to play on either wing, combined with his dribbling skills and ability to use both feet effectively, gives Real Madrid a strong option for the big match against Liverpool.
Ibrahim is eager to prove himself as a regular starter and is determined to show that he can handle the pressure of such a pivotal Champions League clash. If he gets the nod, it could be a defining moment in his career at Real Madrid.
