The white coach has been in favor of sacrificing rotations to give continuity to the good dynamics of the Madrid, led by immeasurable Kroos y Modric that shone again in Tiraspol. Both played 90 minutes despite the fact that the game was on track from the start of the second half and that there is a hellish calendar just around the corner, with the Sevilla as the first stop before facing the matches against him Athletic, Real Sociedad, Inter Milan and Atlético de Madrid.

The only bad news for Madrid on its exotic trip to Transnistria It was the injury of Alaba, who suffers a small knee sprain that makes him doubtful for the crash against the team of Lopetegui. The Austrian center-back is one of the most squeezed players and has only lost one game.
