@jacoballenReal Madrid's full-back hierarchy has flipped under Mourinho, and the numbers tell the story. Álvaro Carreras has started 6 of 13 matches this season. Trent Alexander-Arnold has started 4 of 13. Meanwhile the reported preference leans toward his summer signings, Marc Cucurella and Denzel Dumfries. New manager, new favorites, and the old first-choice pair are the ones paying for it. That is a real shift in the pecking order, not just rotation.

A group of seven young male soccer players are posing on a field. They are all wearing orange training vests over dark teal jerseys and shorts. The mood is athletic and serious, with most of the players standing with their arms crossed and looking directly at the camera. One player is crouched in the foreground. The vests have "Emirates FLY BETTER" printed on them, and the shorts have Adidas stripes.
