Real Madrid is facing a significant midfield decision ahead of their Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. Manager Alvaro Arbeloa is considering starting 18-year-old Thiago Pitarch over 23-year-old Eduardo Camavinga due to Camavinga's underwhelming performance in a recent 1-1 draw against Girona. With Aurelien Tchouameni suspended, the expectation was for Camavinga to take the holding midfield role. However, his struggles in that position have prompted the coaching staff to explore alternatives. Pitarch, who has delivered consistent performances this season, could be given a chance to shine on a major stage. The midfield is expected to include Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, and Arda Guler, forming a strong core as the team aims for a place in the semi-finals of the tournament.
