The Champions League battle against Chelsea left only two losses in the ranks of Real Madrid, Mendy and Marcelo, both on the left side and both very important, but the way in which the players finished the duel against the English raised some doubts about the possibility of their participation against Sevilla in La Liga.
Real Madrid will face Seville next Sunday at the Pizjuan stadium, the stronghold of the Andalusian team, in the 32nd round of the Spanish League. Merengue enters the match with a 12-point difference from Barcelona. Therefore, winning would be a good thing to settle the title before entering into other accounts, especially since Barcelona still has a game in hand against Rayo Vallecano, and if it wins, it will reduce the difference to 9 points.
We’re talking about Benzema and Nacho who ended up very upset after the Chelsea game and looked suspicious of them coming up against Pizjuan next Sunday. But, if there is no last minute mishap, the two will be able to take on Lopetegui’s team without problems.
For the second day in a row, Benzema and Nacho trained with the group and finished the training session without problems. The Frenchman is the soul of Real Madrid this season, the player who decides most matches with his goals.
Nacho, it’s key too and more than that now with Mendy and Marcelo out. He will be the one who will occupy the left-back position in Pizjuan, also in Sadar and perhaps at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. Ancelotti has insurance guarantees with the young Real Madrid player.
Real Madrid continued to prepare for the match against Seville in Valdebebas, in a session in which Los Blancos trained with the ball, their speed and strength without the ball. After two days of recovery, today’s session was much more intense.
