Monarch for almost a week in the Spanish LaLiga and with honey on their lips in the soccer Champions League, Real Madrid is preparing today for Sunday’s celebrations at the Cibeles.
Traditional celebration of the merengues when they win the national tournament, this time it can be the prelude to a major festival. This Sunday around the Fountain and the Cibeles Palace, thousands of fans will gather in the afternoon.
The first reason is the thirty-sixth title recently achieved, after beating Cádiz and Barcelona losing to Girona. Although it was a championship that had been expected for months, this confirmation was followed by another great news for the “white house”, qualifying for the final of the European Champions League after eliminating Bayern Munich.
A quite encouraging outlook in the context of a season that started with too much bad news. The French scorer Karim Benzema left and the Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and two center backs were seriously injured: the Brazilian Eder Militao and the Austrian David Alaba.
Now not only has it managed to win in LaLiga, but it is also in search of its fifteenth Orejona, the club of epic comebacks seems to be consolidating itself as a super-powerful team for the future, with predominant youth in its ranks and the eventual arrival of the French star Kylian Mbappé.
With all these cards on the table, coach Carlo Ancelotti carries out the process of a match that does not decide anything against one of the bottom teams in the competition, Granada. Surely, the successful Spanish coach will give minutes to the less common ones. Among them, the 19-year-old Turkish youngster Arda Guller, the midfielder Dani Ceballos, the full-backs Fran García and Lucas Vázquez and two luxury repulsives, the hero against Bayern Munich, Joselu Matos, and the attacking midfielder Brahim Díaz. There will be time to think about the duel against another German team, Borussia Dortmund, on June 1 at Wembley in London, in the Champions League final.
By then, Real Madrid will want to repeat their love affair with the Orejonas and, without a doubt, they will put up a fight.
