However, it reaches Real Madrid his first match-ball at an awkward moment because he has his mind set on the second leg of Champions next Wednesday before the Manchester City. With the League more than channeled, Carletto he is not worried about the duel against Espanyol, because his mind is more focused on how to beat the team Guardiola.
revolution in eleven
In fact, the Madrid line-up will undergo a revolution because there will be many unusual players who will be in the eleven against the ‘parrots’. The Italian will rest his usual headlines thinking of the English, which will cause an unprecedented eleven in which the Ukrainian goalkeeper will appear Monthsa defense of circumstances with Lucas y Marcelo on the sides, and in which the axis of the rear is a problem. With the drops of Alabainjured, and those sanctioned Militao y Nacho, Vallejo He will be a starter together with someone to be defined. casemiroin the recovery phase, could enter, but it seems more logical that he does not risk and is the youth squad Mario Gila who completes the rear. The core will be made up camavingaCeballos and, predictably, a Isco who will bid farewell to Real Madrid, to leave up Asensioy Mariano con vinicius o Rodrygo. Team of circumstances for the most grateful moment of the season, that of the possible alirón. A wound that arrives in April, long before any forecast, and in which everything that is not losing makes them champions of a league that they will win deservedly taking advantage of the irregularity of Barcelona or Atlético.
Opposite is a Espanyol who arrives without pressure ready to give his best version. Vincent Moreno He has already warned that the draw is not worth it and that his idea is to certify the ‘perica’ permanence avoiding Madrid’s alirón in this first matchball in favor. But the Blue and Whites, who have already won the RCDE Stadium (2-1), do not win in the Bernabeu since the 1995-96 season, chaining 24 games without winning in a Madrid fiefdom.
Milestones of Marcelo and Carletto
The game also hides a couple of milestones that are worth highlighting. Because if the whites win the title in this match, Marcelo will become the most successful player in the history of Madrid, with 24 titles, ahead of Paco Gento. Reason that explains why the Brazilian is still in the club, despite losing prominence. Besides, Ancelotti He will become the first coach in history to win the five major leagues in Europe. The Bundesliga with the Bayernthe A league with the Milanthe Premier with the Chelseathe Ligue 1 with the PSGand now the Liga with the Real Madrid. However, the Whites’ coach, as superstitious as ever, doesn’t take anything for granted: “I still haven’t achieved it and I’m superstitious like almost all Italians”.
