Like PSG, Real Madrid will play a very important match this Tuesday evening. While the Spanish club is just behind in the standings of the championship phase of the Champions League, going to the field of Atalanta Bergamo, one of the most fit teams at the moment in Europe (9 victories in 'in a row), is not an easy task. “Atalanta is doing very well, they have progressed a lot compared to the Super Cup. They are on a good run and are full of enthusiasm. But we have the possibility of winning and qualifying,” Carlo Ancelotti tried to be positive in front of the press.
Vinicius established upon his return?
A match marked by the big return of Vinicius Junior to everyone's surprise, the Brazilian being announced out for 2024 and who finally returns to the group. “He’s fine. He has fully recovered. Today's training session will be very important, just like Rodrygo. Bellingham is fine, 100%. The only doubts concern Vinicius and Rodrygo. We will make a decision after the training session,” Ancelotti detailed on the subject.
And according to the Spanish press, the training session was instructive in reassuring Ancelotti who would have made a strong decision. If Vinicius has not played since November 24, before his hamstring injury, the Italian coach would have simply chosen to line him up directly as a starter, associated with a certain Kylian Mbappé. A hell of a risk after a muscle injury which inevitably leaves uncertainties about his recovery. We'll see this evening if it will pay off.
