Real Madrid News latest real madrid news
Real Madrid will host Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu in the second leg of the 16th round of the Champions League. The first leg ended with the French team winning with a clean goal scored by Kylian Mbappe in a killer time.
Real Madrid plays for half of its season in that match, the Champions League has always been a tournament that Real Madrid seeks to crown in every season in which it participates, and its exclusion of Paris Saint-Germain in particular will be a blow to the financial ambition of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who brought Messi, Ramos and Donnarumma in order to crown that championship for the first time. Once in the club’s history.
On Saturday evening, at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the same field in which it will face Paris, Real Madrid won a broad victory over its guest Real Sociedad team by four goals to one, to consolidate its position at the top of the Spanish league standings with 63 points, to widen the difference with its closest followers, the Seville team, to 8 points.
That match was a final rehearsal (in which Real Madrid managed to wow) before facing Paris Saint-Germain, as Ancelotti tried Eduardo Camavinga in place of Toni Kroos, who was absent through injury and there are doubts about his possibility of catching up in Wednesday’s match. Rodrygo also played from the start unusually, as Ancelotti preferred to push the Brazilian instead of Asensio on the right wing. It appears to be a maneuver from the Italian.
We must remember that Real Madrid will lose Ferland Mendy and Casemiro due to suspension after accumulating yellow cards and there are doubts, as we mentioned, about Kroos’ participation against Paris Saint-Germain.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain failed miserably in the match against Nice in the French League, losing the match with a clean goal. Despite topping the Ligue 1 standings, the defeat in the last rehearsal before facing Real Madrid could have a negative impact on Wednesday.
The match that Mbappe missed, due to suspension after accumulating yellow cards, and Ashraf Hakimi and Sergio Ramos due to injury, proved that Paris Saint-Germain still suffers from the fluctuation of its offensive line, which also owns Neymar and Messi.
In any case, we can say that Real Madrid succeeded in a final rehearsal, while Paris Saint-Germain failed miserably before the confrontation on Wednesday.
