The Brazilian team is already scheduled for the friendly against Spain, this Tuesday, at the Santiago Bernabéu, in Madrid. Coach Dorival Júnior decided to repeat the same team that beat England 1-0 last Saturday at Wembley.
As a result, the scorer of Brazil’s goal in the last match, striker Endrick, from Palmeiras, starts on the bench. The starting attacking trio will have Raphinha, Rodrygo and Vinícius Júnior, who will also be the team captain.
The team’s lineup has: Benedict; Danilo, Fabrício Bruno, Lucas Beraldo and Wendell; Bruno Guimarães, João Gomes and Lucas Paquetá; Vinícius Júnior, Raphinha and Rodrygo.
BRAZIL CLIMBED! 💚💛

Buoyed by Dorival’s debut victory, Brazil is trying to consolidate its recovery with the new commander. The team had come from three consecutive defeats in the Qualifiers before beating England in London.
The game with Spain will be marked by actions to combat racism, with Vinícius Júnior, from Real Madrid, as the central figure in this fight. On the eve of the match, he held a press conference and, emotionally, said he had “less and less desire to play”.
On the other hand, the Spanish are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in a friendly played last Friday. The country, led by Luis de la Fuente, occupies eighth place in the FIFA national team rankings.
Spain goes to the field with: Unai Simón; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte and Cucurella; Rodri, Dani Olmo and Fabián Ruiz; Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams and Morata.

The ball will roll in a little while, starting at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Real Madrid Stadium. It will be the first time that the trio Endrick, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo will be able to perform together on the stage of the future Palmeiras club. The referee of the match is Portuguese António Nobre, assisted by Bruno Jesus and Luciano Maia. There will be no VAR.
