Real Madrid will return to training next Tuesday at 11:00, and not on Monday, as scheduled. According to what AS has learned, Zidane gives one more day of rest to the squad before facing the final stretch of the season. Footballers must submit to LaLiga protocol before stepping on the playing fields.
Thus, Madrid will have 10 days to prepare for the second leg of the second round of the Champions League against Manchester City. The meeting will be on July 7 (9:00 p.m.), at the Etihad Stadium, empty door. For this clash the whites will not be able to count on Sergio Ramos, sanctioned after seeing the direct red in the first leg.
The Zinedine Zidane players will return after 8 days off in which batteries have been recharged and turned the page. LaLiga, the 34th, is already a reality, but now the mind is on the double, in the fourteenth continental crown.
The award, a ticket to Lisbon
If Madrid is able to overcome, it will take a juicy booty: being in the atypical final phase that will settle the champion this year. The rival in the quarters would be Juventus or Lyon and the tie would be played on August 15 at 9:00 p.m.
The semifinals would be on August 18, also at 9:00 p.m. and the final, on August 23, at the same time and in the same stadium where everything will be played: Give Light (Lisbon).
