Real Madrid has had a lot of problems with injuries and indispules of key players from the beginning of the season. Dani Carvajal's long -term injury, notorious falling out of the composition of central defenders and minor problems of offensive players are the norm for coach Carlo Ancelotti. Before the match with Atletico Madrid, Italian has a really difficult situation.
Real Madrid – Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Dramatic situation at the defenders of the title
On the eve of the big hit 1/8 FINAL Champions League The team from “White Madrid” announced the match team for this competition. The fans have one huge reason to be satisfied – they return to the team Federico Valverdewho struggled with small problems and left the last three matches. In addition, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo are invariably healthy. This is unfortunately the end of good news.
The match team still lacks injured Edera Militao and Dani Carvajal, to which fans in Madrid managed to get used to. However, two key names were also not found in this team. It's about Dani CeBallos and Jude Bellingham.
In the case of the Englishman, it is about suspension for yellow cards, because in the match in the second match with Manchester City he saw a warning and exceeded the limit of cards. He will miss it in the first derby match against Atletico, and for the second, if he is healthy, he should of course jump into the first composition.
In turn, CeBallos's situation is much more complicated. The Spaniard, who unexpectedly is a pillar of the middle of the Real field and shines this season, suffered an injury in a cup match with Real Sociedadhe no longer played with Betis and a longer break awaits him. A semi -member muscle injury is to exclude it from playing for about two months, so even if Real advances to the 1/4 finals, he will probably have to do without him.
Federico Valverde will probably play in connection with staffing problems on the right defense. So the Ancelotti coach will have to choose the field from four: Luka Modrić, Brahim Diaz, Eduardo Camaving And Aurelien Tchouameni. While the first two almost always provides adequate quality, two French matches are intertwined well and none of them will replace Bellingham or CeBallos.
Real is waiting for a great test without further key players, and Atletico is recently a difficult rival for opponents from behind. In the last four matches, Diego Simeone's players won once, and a 1: 1 draw has fallen three times. The meeting in the 1/8 Champions League is scheduled for Tuesday, March 4 at 21:00.
