3 Real Madrid starters who must be benched vs Roma in Champions League

The Real Champs writer Hridyam Arora argues that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho must bench Aurelien Tchouameni, Denzel Dumfries, and Arda Guler for their upcoming Champions League match against Roma. The writer contends that Roma poses a significant threat through counter-pressing and attacking options like Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen, requiring tactical adjustments to secure a positive result.

According to Arora, Tchouameni's partnership with Fede Valverde has been ineffective, while Trent Alexander-Arnold should start over Dumfries for his passing ability against Roma's defense. Additionally, the writer suggests Yan Diomande should start instead of Guler to provide more pace and physicality against the Italian side.
