Real Madrid now knows its opponent in play -offs in the Champions League: Manchester City. The first leg will be played on February 11, and by then, the Merengue will play two Liga games, and another King's Cup. The first of these championship meetings takes place this Saturday, since the White House moves on the field of Espanyol Barcelona. And for this meeting, Carlo Ancelotti will be able to count on Vinicius again.

As a reminder, the Brazilian had received a red card and two suspension games in a match against Valence, during which the 24 -year -old had had an altercation with Stole Dimitrievski, the opposing goalkeeper. While Vini is often criticized for his behavior on the ground, the Italian coach wanted to call him back to order at a press conference: “ He is aware of what to do on the ground because he is a mature person. I can't wait for him to return and that he can show his best face. He trained very well, he is fresh and can bring a lot to the team for the match of tomorrow (Saturday). Also absent against Brest on the last day of the play-off phase of the Champions League, also for suspension, Vinicius will have the opportunity to compete in the shock against Manchester City.
