Led 2-0 by Borussia Dortmund, the Merengue club was once again able to achieve an XXL comeback in its lair of the Bernabéu to win 5 goals to 2, notably thanks to a hat-trick from Vinicius Junior. For its part, Barça ended six consecutive defeats against Bayern Munich here by beating the Bavarians 4 goals to 1.
Two high-profile victories which logically ignited the Spanish media. A.S. And Marca rejoice, for example, in unison at the incredible “Clasico awaiting us! ». Two spectacular teams, a Catalan leader who is only three points ahead of his Madrid pursuer: all the ingredients are there to have a great match. However, Casa Blanca has to deal with two bad news: the packages of Rodrygo and Thibaut Courtois.
Concrete against Barça
Rodrygo, injured five minutes before the end of the match against BVB, suffered a torn hamstring. For his part, the Belgian goalkeeper is injured in the adductor of his left leg. Facing Barça on Saturday evening, Carlo Ancelotti has with Lunin a choice replacement solution for Courtois. But for the rest? Last night, the show El Chiringuito understands that Carlo Ancelotti could have some surprises in store for us. Starting with the right-back position.
Following the serious injury of Dani Carvajal, Lucas Vazquez has regained his starting stripes. However, the experienced merengue could give way to a more defensive option. “Madrid considers placing Militão at right-back”revealed journalist Edu Aguirre. And that’s not all. “We could see Modric-Valverde-Camavinga-Bellingham in midfield”.
