After the easy victory in the European Supercup, there were already voices from the Blancos who marked an almost impossible goal: a season that would end with six titles, no less. The journey towards retaining the Spanish championship will begin against the newcomer, when Carlo Ancelotti will enjoy an almost full squad, excluding Rodrigo, who is suffering from muscle pain, and is not expected to make changes compared to the one that beat Eintracht Frankfurt. On the other hand, the host has not yet been able to register five purchase players for the game, and she may appear in a missing squad.
“I’m already waiting for the start of our journey to defend the title,” said Carlo Ancelotti. “I expect Eden Hazard to play in a more forward role this season, but he can play in any position in the attack. I don’t think the World Cup will be his personality, the players who will come after him will get more rest and we have a quality squad. We will try to do a little more rotation, but this squad is better than last season What keeps me going? I have a passion for football and I work at the best club in the world, that’s what motivates me. After Real Madrid, I’ll retire. There’s no better place to end my journey.”
