He Morata’s Milan assault at the Bernabéu It leaves Ancelotti’s men with very little margin for error if they want to try to be among the top eight in the Champions League phase.. Those prestigious positions that grant a direct pass to the round of 16. A privilege not suitable for this Madrid, which has moved further away from those positions after the defeat in Lille and against Milan.
In the absence of what happens this Wednesday (which could complicate the situation even more), Madrid is 17th in the standingsjust seven places away from being eliminated from their favorite competition. The current champion must wake up, but the calendar is not going to make it easy. In fact, there are going to be many rocks in him, as three difficult outings and a single home game against Salzburg await him.
The next matches of the white team
Real Madrid’s next game is at Anfield. The whites visit a Liverpool that has not yet lost in the Champions League y who tops the table alone with 12 points, after beating Milan, Bologna, Leipzig and Leverkusen. A match that on August 29, when the draw was held, was considered the “easy” match on the white calendar.
Things will not improve in the next day, because Ancelotti’s men travel to Bergamo to visit the current Europa League champion. A team that is being a success in Serie A and that, with Retegui and Lookman devouring the rival area, has entered fully into the fight for the Italian league with Inter and Naples.
Then receive the Salzburg. The Austrians are currently eliminated from the competition, in 34th place, so this will ‘a priori’ be the easiest confrontation for Ancelotti’s team. Although The visit to Lille already made it clear that the whites cannot, nor should they, let their guard down.
Finally, on January 29 will visit Brestthe surprise of the European competition. A team that is seventh in the table, pending what happens this Wednesday in Prague. Xabi Alonso’s men suffered him the previous day y Ancelotti is already thinking about the puzzle so that the same thing doesn’t happen to them.
