Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will have Jude Bellingham back and be available for their Champions League return bone against Atletico Madrid, but it has created a selection force for the Italian. Brahim Diaz was the man of the game who played in the position of Bellingham, while Luka Modric waved the game in favor of Real Madrid when he replaced Eduardo Camavinga.
It seems more likely that Brahim will fall on the couch to house Bellingham, despite reports that he could stand next to him for Aurelien Tchouameni. Ancelotti was asked if it would be unfair to start Modric and Brahim on the couch.
“I will have more than eleven players for this match, those who do not play, will contribute. A well -made change can make the difference. “
One of the sentences that was picked up before the first stage was that you either had to run or make a difference, and Ancelotti was asked what he would rather against Atletico against the Metropolitano.
“If you run a lot, you can bind the game, if you make a difference, you have the chance to win the game.”
Modric did not start this season with two consecutive games, and with the Croatian plays 90 minutes on Sunday in Real Madrid's 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano, many that he would not be present from the off on Wednesday.
“It's coincidence, I don't look at the statistics, Modric should not worry about that, luckily I don't look at them for him.”
Los Blancos had signed the previous three meetings 1-1 before last week with Atletico, a sign of how tight the Madrid derby is usually. With an advantage and a lot of pace during the break, Real Madrid probably goes as significant favorites in the game. Atletico still has to win a European draw against their city rivals.
