Benzema fallen, the other nines failed, the false nines failed and it’s time for the almost nines. Even if it’s Bale, although he has not played a minute in Madrid since August and with Wales since November, although he is moving and with retirement in mind, although the Madrid fans have long since gotten off that train. Sounds like a desperate decisionand a little bit of a message to the club that this won’t last another year without anyone behind Benzema. For the rest, Ancelotti only knowsand saves Modric for Paris. It was expected. Villarreal is a first class port, the advantage in the League is short and the bench is steamr. A foul will make the Italian go well with Bale, an eternal shot in the air”.
