As was the case in the round of 16 (when Mendy and Casemiro were absent), again an important loss for Carlo Ancelotti in the quarter-final second leg against Chelsea. The Real Madrid coach will not be able to count on Eder Militao next Tuesday at the Bernabéu. The Brazilian center-back, who was warned, was booked for a foul on Pulisic on the edge of the area in the 14th minute of the match.
The white defender, who he had seen yellow lanes against Inter in the last game of the group stage and in the first leg of the round of 16 against PSGwill not be able to help his teammates in the match that will decide the tie at the Bernabéu.

“And let Militao thank Alaba, who was covering him. If not, it was red,” commented Iturralde González when analyzing the play in the live broadcast at the Sports Carousel from Cadena SER. In addition to the yellow card, Militao was brought back to Madrid and suffered a strong blow to the ribs in the first half, which left him knocked out, although he held on until the 64th minute when he was replaced by Nacho after another blow to the knee.
