Mendy left out of Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League squad

Ferland Mendy has been excluded from the UEFA Champions League squad, allowing Sergio Martínez, who recently joined Real Madrid, to be registered and giving the young player a chance to be part of the team in the continental competition.

The Real Madrid squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Sergio Mistry, and Javi Navarro.

Defenders: Raúl Asensio, Éder Militão, Dean Houseman, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Marc Cucurella, Álvaro Carreiras, Antonio Rüdiger, Denzel Dumfries, Mario Rivas, Juan Martínez, and Jesús Fortia.

Midfield: Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Bernardo Silva, Brahim Díaz, Tiago Pitarque, Cistero, Vialba, Valero, and Sergio Martínez.

The line-up features Vinícius Júnior, Endrick, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, Carlos Espi, Jan Duymandy, and Yanez.

Real Madrid's squad for the 2026-2027 UEFA Champions League season has seen a surprise omission, with French full-back Ferland Mendy left out. Meanwhile, young recruit Sergio Martínez has been registered in the royal team's list for the competition.
