On Tuesday night, in the football Champions League last season, Liverpool will host Real Madrid at Anfield. The first leg of the round of 16 will be hellishly difficult for the Madrid team, as coach Carlo Ancelotti cannot count on even two regular players.
Toni Kroos and Aurelien Tchouameni were not included in the Madrid team’s traveling squad due to illness. The midfielder of the German world champion played in 30 matches this season, starting 26 times.
Tchouameni, who signed last year, took the place of Casemiro, who joined Manchester United, in the team. He has played 26 games so far, starting 21 times.
In addition to the two excuses, Real Madrid will also have a comeback. Carlo Ancelotti can count on the Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema, who missed the match against Osasuna last week due to a minor injury.
