After a debate season, it seems that Carlo Ancelotti will finally do what many expected that he would come last summer after the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. Brazilian attacker Rodrygo Goes is expected to recover from the injury that loved him from the line-up against Celta Vigo, but the last of the Spanish capital is that he will not be in the starting XI.
Real Madrid knows that only a victory at Montjuic in the last El Clasico of the season will serve them on Sunday to keep their title hopes alive, with a four-point gap between the two that enter the last four games, including the Barcelona match. Ancelotti knows that if he has some hope to hold on to his work, it must win from La Liga.
The Turkish asterisk, from the right side and falling centrally, was a major problem for the Celta defense. His sharp death was a constant threat, and his creativity gave Real Madrid a lot of attacking threat and offered Kylian Mbappe in the first half. Not to mention his brilliant opener, a defender dummating and shooting the ball in the top corner.
According to Marca, it was a performance that gives him a starting point against Barcelona. “Yes, Arda has the chance to start against Barca next Sunday,” Ancelotti told the media after the game. They say he feels that his moment came and is very motivated to leave his mark.
The Brazilian missed their 3-2 victory over Celta in the Santiago Bernabeu, but then Ancelotti noted that 'he will recover'. The Italian would further explain that 'the team is clear to Barcelona. We have a week to rest and prepare well for it. 'Most assume that Rodrygo will be the sacrifice for Guler, who performed better in the final of Copa del Rey, and is in a much better form.
Although it seemed just a month ago as if Guler might have been on its way this summer to look for more minutes next season, his step forward can strengthen his place in the team, expected with a new manager. On the other hand, Rodrygo's stock has fallen into the Spanish capital, and it is true that he is considering a switch from Real Madrid – when Guler starts for him, it can push him closer to the exit.
