Zinedine Zidane is getting the most out of his squad with his rotations but the extent of the changes for the Eibar game last weekend was still a surprise.
He started Nacho and Theo Hernandez on the wings with Dani Ceballos and Marco Asensio also coming into the side following the Champions League clash with Tottenham Hotspur as Achraf, Marcelo, Toni Kroos and Benzema made way.
Five changes in total, including goalkeeper Kiko Casilla, as Zidane continued the policy of rotations that was so successful last year where 20 different players started matches. He has made 52 changes in the 15 matches this season since the European Super Cup against Manchester United, which is almost a rate of four changes from one game to the next.
Some of these changes, admittedly, have been forced by sanctions (Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos and Lucas Modric have suffered from them), and others by injuries (up to 11 footballers have missed more than one match). Despite this, Zidane has taken advantage of using his entire squad, creating a very competitive Real Madrid side.
