Real Madrid will return to the Champions League when they welcome AC Milan at the Santiago Bernabeu after 10 precious days off. This is Los Blancos’ first match after a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona in El Clasico, and last weekend’s match with Valencia in La Liga was also postponed. This battle is important to Real Madrid as they need to regain their form and spirit against AC Milan, a team that is considered not to be easily bullied.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced the list of players participating in the match and believes that striker Rodrygo Goes will return. The Brazilian has recovered from injury earlier than expected and will be available after missing just one match against Barcelona. Antonio Rudiger is also ready to play after recovering from injury. However, Real Madrid still lacks many pillars such as Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal and David Alaba due to injury.
As for AC Milan, the Italian representative also did not have the strongest squad when 4 key players were absent, including Ismael Bennacer, Alessandro Florenzi, Matteo Gabbia and Luka Jovic due to injury. However, Milan is still in good form with 3 wins in their most recent matches, including a 1-0 win over Monza at the weekend.
vantage and a long break, Real Madrid is expected to play confidently and aim for victory against Milan to create motivation for the next phase of the season.
