The Real Madrid has a final tonight at San Siro, the stadium where he won the Undécima. This time there is no title at stake, but living more relaxed in the Champions League. A win against Inter, his rival today, would leave the whites one step away from being in the round of 16. A defeat, on the other hand, would mean that Madrid could not fail in the two remaining duels in the Champions League. The one that cannot afford a mistake is Inter, which is bottom of this group with two groups and anything that is not winning would be a full-blown European failure.
To face this final, Zidane has very important casualties. Above all of them stand out those of Sergio Ramos and Karim Benzema, without forgetting that of Fede Valverde, key man in the white medullary. The consolation for the Real Madrid coach is that he recovers Casemiro after testing negative for coronavirus. In principle, the Brazilian will start to the detriment of Odegaard. Thus, Real Madrid recovers defensive strength in the medullary, but Zidane continues without being able to count on the goals of Benzema and the leadership of Bouquets, key to stopping one of the most dangerous attack pairs in Europe such as the one they form Romelu lukaku, absent in the first leg due to injury, and the Argentine Lautaro Martínez. Varane and Nacho They will be in charge of dealing with the two dangerous forwards of Inter.
The duel against Villarreal left doubts regarding physical strength and wardrobe background due to the large number of absent players and several without competitive rhythm such as Carvajal, Nacho and Mariano and now a team of Antonio Conte that gives a lot of rhythm to the games.
If Madrid have little margin for error, Inter are on the ropes. With the confirmed casualties of Aleksandar Kolarov and Marcelo Brozovic, Inter will be entrusted to their defensive trio formed by Milan Skriniar, Stefan De Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni.
Roberto Gagliardini, Nicoló Barella and the chilean Arturo Vidal will be headlines in the center of the field, supported by the bands by the former Moroccan madridista Achraf hakimi and English Ashley young, with the untouchables Lautaro and Lukaku in the front.
