The League of Thebes does not stop… and enters its most decisive phase. Real Madrid comes from thrashing Ramón de Carranza (0-3) in a good football recital against Cádiz. Only 69-70 hours have passed since Mateu Lahoz called the final and we already have a new final ahead of us in the fight for the domestic championship.
A very decisive day since Real Madrid will see how Atlético de Madrid will visit the new San Mamés to face Athletic Club and FC Barcelona will do the same at the Estadio de La Cerámica against Villarreal. The opportunity to put maximum pressure is totally ideal … And all this with a view to the great continental event.
Real Madrid will face Chelsea this Tuesday and look closely, thinking about the rotation, their list of players who remain in the infirmary (Kroos, Sergio Ramos, Ferland Mendy, Lucas Vázquez and Fede Valverde) which is still wide, but which is already less pressing after the departure of Eden Hazard and Luka Modric.
Precisely, one of those who makes Zidane look at his bench the most is Luka Modric. The Cordovan Antonio Blanco and the Madrid Sergio Arribas, both from La Fábrica, are still in the call and could be confirmed as solutions to give Zadar rest. He returned to training this Friday and putting him in the fray, perhaps, would again be something too hasty. The management will have to be carried out by ZZ with his team, but knowing that between the Superleague mess and injuries… Chelsea is already just around the corner.
Opposite will be Nabil Fekir’s Real Betis. A player, that of Lyon, for whom Zizou continues to request reports and continues to warn that it is a market opportunity. He saw the red against Athletic Club and he will not be able to be on the Valdebebas grass. Pellegrini’s team, by the way, will set foot in the Alfredo Di Stéfano Stadium for the first time since the Madridistas moved there to continue accelerating the construction of the new Bernabéu.
