Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Real Madrid manager, Carlo Ancelotti has identified two players that would definitely play for his team against Liverpool in the Champions League final later this month.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League final on May 28 in Paris.<\/p>\n

And Ancelotti has now revealed that both Federico Valverde and Rodrygo will feature in the final.<\/p>\n

The Italian shared his plans for their final against Liverpool in the post-match press conference after Real Madrid defeated Levante on Thursday.<\/p>\n

He said via Managing Madrid: \u201cIt should be a 4-3-3, which can sometimes shift to a 4-4-2.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s not a defined system. For example, against City, we started with a 4-3-3 and then I put Modri\u0107 close to Rodri and we moved to a 4-4-1-1, but the plan didn\u2019t change too much. It can depend on how we want to press the opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if he would play Rodrygo and Valverde in the final, he said, \u201cBoth of them are going to play the final, definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodrygo and Valverde have impressed greatly in recent weeks, especially in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Valverde has started their last four matches in the quarter-finals and the semi-finals, while Rodrygo came on as a substitute in all four matches and scored three goals.<\/p>\n
