He made a panicked gesture, confirmed by Real Madrid’s official diagnosis, made public as soon as the match ended, and confirmed the worst of all signs: “Tear in the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee.”
Fifth serious knee injury for Real Madrid
The White team made an offer of approval after the first diagnosis for the Austrian defender, who “will undergo surgery in the coming days.” This means the end of the Austrian player’s season.This had become a staple for Ancelotti precisely because of Real Madrid’s incessant losses.
