Words from the Real Madrid Manager
Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid has affirmed that his team will make a quick recovery and return to their full potential, aiming to utilize their home advantage in the first leg of the quarter-final match.
“In terms of the Champions League, it’s a defeat that doesn’t change our mood for Wednesday’s game, which will be different,” Ancelotti said after the match against Villarreal. I may repeat the same 11 from Camp Nou. I made a lot of rotations today because the game against Barcelona demanded a lot from us physically and mentally.”
Real Madrid Playing XI vs Chelsea: 3 key players return for Real Madrid
Luka Modric, Federico Valverde, and Toni Kroos are expected to return to the starting lineup for Real Madrid, while Dani Carvajal will come back in at right-back, causing Lucas Vazquez to be benched. Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger is likely to play against his former team.
As Ferland Mendy is still injured, Real Madrid’s manager, Ancelotti, needs to make a decision about who will play left-back. Eduardo Camavinga started in the same position against Barcelona, but Nacho’s defensive capabilities might be preferred for this match.
Upfront, Karim Benzema and Vinicius Jr will once again be the key players for Real Madrid. Benzema scored four goals against Chelsea the last season, which included a sensational hat-trick at Stamford Bridge.
