Fans agree with Ancelotti: Casillas is number one
The pre-season has left Real Madrid's fans with a sweet taste in the mouth, with the team appearing regenerated after the difficult times at the end of the ‘Mou era,’ AS.com reported.
Having seen the team in action, with new signings Casemiro, Isco and Carvajal (Illarramendi is still recovering from a niggling injury) the readers of AS.com have voted for their starting line-up for the new season and the first game against Betis.
The Real Madrid fans who took part in the survey think the situation is clear, with Casillas receiving three times as many votes as Diego López, 12,000 to 4,000.
The starting line-up as decided by the survey would be:
Iker Casillas; Carvajal, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Xabi Alonso, Modric, Özil, Isco, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema.
