“I saw on social media that we were trying to create something negative around Kylian, Rodrygo, Vini and me. The reality is that we are very good friends on and off the field.” Jude Bellingham’s assertion will be able to be tested very soon and perhaps even as early as Tuesday in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti has announced the composition of the Real Madrid squad for the trip to Bergamo and the clash with Atalanta. The four thieves in question appear there for the first time in a month and a clear victory against Osasuna (4-0). Since then, they have not been able to line up together, particularly due to injuries to the two Brazilians.
Picking up in C1, the Madrilenians will try to move up the rankings thanks to their offensive strike force. Without Vinicius or Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappé found the net again on Saturday in Girona (0-3), but the Frenchman, lacking confidence in recent weeks, will he be able to continue to aim for a return to form thanks to their presence ?
How will Carlo Ancelotti arrange his team? Arda Güler and Brahim Diaz were good against Girona, the Turk even scoring the second Merengue goal. Will they be in the eleven again while waiting for Rodri’s runner-up to the last Ballon d’Or and his compatriot to be 100%? And who will take a penalty, if there is a penalty? So many questions that are pending until Tuesday, 9 p.m. At this time, Real Madrid are… 24th in this Champions League group stage.
The Madrid group against Atalanta: Courtois, Lunin, Mestre – Lucas Vazquez, Vallejo, Fran Garcia, Rüdiger, Youssef, Asencio, Jimenez – Bellingham, Valverde, Modric, Tchouameni, Güler, Ceballos, Chema – Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, Mbappé, Endrick, Diaz.
