Real Madrid will try to maintain its La Liga form into the UEFA Champions League after a flawless start to the 2023–24 season.
Later this week, Los Blancos will begin their European tour by facing Bundesliga team Union Berlin at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The most successful team in the tournament will square off against a club making its debut on the biggest platform in Europe in what could be an intriguing matchup.
Gonzalo Garcia and Nico Paz will be called up by Real Madrid.
Vinicius Jr., Eder Militao, and Thibaut Courtois are all forced to sit out the match due to injuries for Real Madrid. It is also unknown if Ferland Mendy is really prepared to make a comeback.
Carlo Ancelotti will probably draw on the team’s reserves to bolster the bench for the forthcoming match against Union Berlin due to the absences.
As a result, Real Madrid intends to add academy talents Nico Paz and Gonzalo Garcia to the team for the Champions League matchup on Wednesday, according to Jorge C Picon.
Gonzalo and Nico are both on the B List for the Merengues’ Champions League team.

The two have been performing well for Real Madrid’s Castilla squad, which is coached by Raul Gonzalez, a club icon.
In fact, Gonzalo has two goals in three games while Nico Paz has four goals and one assist after four games this season.
Gonzalo, 19, and Nico, 18, have both been chosen by Ancelotti to the matchday roster for the first team in the previous two matches as a result of Vinicius Jr.’s injury.
Jorge C. Picon predicts that the pattern will likely hold when Los Blancos play Union Berlin at the Bernabeu in a few days.
