He's not though.
It's a 4-3-3 with Di Maria and Modric either side of Alonso, but with Di Maria supporting Marcelo on the left hand side.
Di Maria plays due to his work rate as Ancelotti has stated numerous times plus he prefers three in midfield.

No changes?
Good shot Modric.
He is not a midfielder though and it shows.
It does, but he's not playing as an AM which was the post I responded to.
Not really buying this idea that putting Isco in there would make much of a difference.
Well, Isco would be better in a central position, no matter in what formation. I think.
Aaahh, Ronnie just offside.
They've not conceded a goal since they switched to the 4321 formation. Di Maria has adapted surprisingly well to being in the 3, but this is his and the formation's first big test.
Uh, oh.. Ancelotti's eyebrow already not happy.
Madrid are going to score soon.
Was that Herrera with one of the most obvious shirt pulls ever? He was using both hands 
When was the last time Madrid won against Athletic away?
Last season, a 0-3.
Ronaldo scored 2, Higuain got the other one.
Yes, I did have to check!
Oh, I thought they had a bad record there. Could be another big team I mixed up.
Ah bugger
Jese scores!
Goal for Jese!
Big goal
Ah feck.
Jese!!!!!
It seems to me Muniain hasn't improved since we played Bilbao. I thought he's the next big thing.
Balls.
I was literally just typing "Jese has pulled a great Houdini this second half" as he scored.
How is Benzema still on, he's been awful
Benzema is so frustrating at times.
Ramos has been shit.
Goal Gomez!
Alonso should be off
What a goal!
Get the feck in!!!
What a sub!!
What a cracker.
Madrid have a big 20 mins now.
Great strike
Great strike
Oh ffs...
What a goal ! Took the free kick as well.
Fight fight fight
What a strike
Blimey. What a goal. I thought they'd made a mistake bringing Muniain off, though he was being kept relatively quiet. Then his replacement just hammers that in. Incredible.
Haha, quality stuff from Ibaí Gomez there. Is he the supersub Skorenzy was talking about?
Ronaldo off!
