Furthermore, on the way to Wembley, Real Madrid has four EA Sports LaLiga games ahead of it where its aim is to get players from long-term injuries, such as Thibaut Courtois and Éder Militao, back into rhythm, and regain their best form. football players like Jude Bellingham.
Shared feelings
The first step is to celebrate the 36th League. A celebration that was postponed on Saturday as we focused on the second leg of the Champions League semifinals against Bayern. And now, having achieved the goal of being in the final, it’s time to celebrate the trophy as well as passing the final at Wembley.
A meeting with his fans that Carlo Ancelotti He expects it, as he commented in the press conference after the return against Bayern Munich.
“If I think about it until the final, we will all have a good time. I made an appointment to go to Cibeles, because there is happiness transmitted by this atmosphere and the players,” he assured.
Celebration that starts on Sunday at 9:30 am at Real Madrid Sports City of Valdebebas, with Pedro Rocha, president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), presenting the trophy to the white team.
After half an hour, the players and coaching staff of the first team along with the board will go to Community of Madrid and City Council after that, at 12:00, when the promises to the authorities are fulfilled, to an open bus in Cybele, where the party is expected to end at 2:00 pm.
Bring back Courtois and Militao
A Real Madrid that won the League and reached the final of the Champions League, overcoming adversity in the form of serious injuries. And two of them, Courtois and Militao, They can have their level of importance in a final where, with a month of filming already under their belts, they will be another alternative in Ancelotti’s plans.
A Madrid coach They have four games to get them into a rhythm, which the center back seems to need even more, given the last game against Cádiz where both started.
Courtois He is imprecise with his feet, but he showed that he is a savior, winning a one-on-one with 0-0 against Chris Ramos minutes before the opening goal of Brahim Diaz.
“I’m so beautiful. Getting used to it. The plan was to play a friendly in March, but I tore my meniscus. I haven’t played eleven out of eleven games in nine months. I read the space carefully; I didn’t forget (he joked). With long passes, you have to get used to it a little bit,” he analyzed his match after the 3-0 victory over Cádiz.
A good performance that raised doubts about whether he could be a starter in a possible ‘Champions’ final, which became a reality on Wednesday, and that Ancelotti there are no hills.
Italian confirmed Luna in the second leg of the semifinals against Bayern, but he did not want to think about the starting goalkeeper for the final, even if it was not in his pocket, and referred to Courtois as “needing time” to reach his best level.
A competitive rhythm after medical discharge that, as a goalkeeper, requires less time than Militao. Although the Brazilian reappeared earlier, on March 31, it wasn’t until April 26 that he enjoyed his first start.
He did it against Real Sociedad and repeated it a week later against Cádiz, in a match where he lacked intensity and strength, losing unusual duels with the pre-injury Militao.
so, the four remaining matches of LaLiga EA Sports will serve Ancelotti to give Militao continuity and get options for the final, with David Alaba ruled out due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee he suffered in December, leaving Rüdiger and Nacho as the only healthy centre-backs in the first team ; with the option to postpone Tchoauméni.
Waiting for the best of Bellingham
The English midfielder Jude Bellingham He is one of Real Madrid’s best players this season. A very good start, with 14 goals in 15 games, but a 2024 where it will be difficult for him to find that version.
More than just ‘five’ goals this year – from August to December 2023 he scored 17 -, by not having to ask for good numbers from a forward from a midfielder, Bellingham seems to have reached only the last episode of the season.
His goal in the April 21 classic against Barcelona snapped a streak of two and a half months without scoring against Real Madrid; where he was out due to injury and suspension and played seven games.
Besides, Bellingham inHe has had problems with his left shoulder since November and has seen his position changed in several games; from being a midfielder with great ability to reach the area, to occupying the position of false ‘9’, losing the ability to surprise and play in front of goal that gave him so much income in his first season in white team.
A debut campaign that will close against his former team, Borussia Dortmund, in a ‘Champions’ final where he challenged himself to emulate his idol, Zinedine Zidane. Big word.
“Zidane is my inspiration and I want to do what he did in the Champions League final with Madrid,” he commented after reaching the final.
A goal in which he will need to regain his best form, with 23 days ahead including four games in which Ancelotti and Antonio Pintus, pThe physical organizer of Real Madrid, will organize the efforts of each player.
