What mainly draws attention in Spain is the “shock of contrasts” as described ASbetween Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid. Contrast because the two formations are in opposite forms. The Colchoneros are in full confidence, still in the race in three competitions. On the other hand, on the side of the White House, it is doubt. On the sporting component, the whites have obtained only 5 points out of the last 15 possible in Liga, have not won outside since January and have just bowed 2-1 against Betis this weekend. Real suffers from the chain of matches and deplore several injuries. Carvajal, longtime militao, but more recently Ceballos, Bellingham and Valverde. The Uruguayan worries Ancelotti, who does not know if he can count on him. He struggles to recover and has made a discomfort according to the Spanish press, while Encelotti announces that he will be available tomorrow. The attack line is disappointing, to the point of being compared to zombies according to the newspaper. Answer tomorrow night in this derby that promises to be boiling.
Rodri's comeback
Good news for Manchester City. The reigning Ballon of Golden, Rodri, injured after a break in the knee crossed ligaments last September, could soon return to competition as explained by the Daily Express. We saw him touch up the ball in training, his recovery continues well, but you have to be careful according to Pep Guardiola: ” Fans should know that they are not the only ones to be excited. It's been five months or six months and it could be after the international break. But we have to go step by step. We don't want to make stupid decisions to come back too early. A return after the international break is mentioned, if not around April 26-27, on the occasion of the FA Cup semi-finals. A return that could change the face of City.
Clash between Rooney and Amorim
In England, it is once again Manchester United who makes the headlines, and once again not for the right reasons. Match 1-1 in Cup against Fulham, followed by an elimination of penalties. THE Daily Mail is no longer surprised. In the current state of things, Fulham is a better team than Manchester. Rasmus Hojlund embodies this bankruptcy, he who has not marked for 18 hours and 38 minutes, since his double against the Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League. Despite this new disappointment, Ruben Amorim is trying to positivate and aims to win the Premier League in the years to come. A quote that made Wayne Rooney, who could not help say that this statement was naive, the primary objective being first to go back to the classification. Amorim was made aware of this comment and replied in turn: “To be naive is to think that we are going to do it this season or be the best competitor next season. So I know that at the moment everyone knows everything. I was an expert when I ended my career. I know it's really easy.Large in the league, eliminated from the cup, they only have the Europa League to hope to be European next season.
