Real Madrid will take on Malaga CF in a little over an hour in Matchday 3 of the 2026\/27 La Liga<\/a> at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Having started the new campaign with back-to-back wins over RCD Espanyol and Real Sociedad under new manager Jose Mourinho, the Merengues<\/em> will be eager to maintain their strong start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n With kickoff not far away, Mourinho has announced the Real Madrid<\/a> starting lineup that will take the field against the newly-promoted La Liga<\/a> club today at the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Having fielded the same starting XI for the first two games, the Real Madrid<\/a> boss has opted to make some changes to the team today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Three of the changes come in defence, where Trent Alexander-Arnold, Antonio Rudiger, and Marc Cucurella<\/a> all start, replacing Denzel Dumfries<\/a>, Ibrahima Konate, and Alvaro Carreras, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dean Huijsen is the only player who retains his place in the backline, as he faces his boyhood club. Thibaut Courtois<\/a>, meanwhile, continues in goal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There is a change in midfield as well, as Eduardo Camavinga<\/a> comes into the side as Federico Valverde\u2019s partner in the double pivot. New signing Bernardo Silva<\/a> makes way for the Frenchman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
