Real Madrid looking for key to round of 16 in Warsaw

with new faces Ancelotti will try to leave a comfortable group for the current Champions League champion. and changing the dynamics of their recent conflict. Real Madrid has dwindled its strength despite the numerous chances it has offered. He scored two goals to 36 against Shakhtar at the Santiago Bernabéu.

A total of four goals in his last three commitments show what could be considered the onset of a problem that hardly affects the results, Just one loan draw against Osasuna, the rest are white wins with a record start to the season.

The solution to ‘problems’ has a name: Karim Benzema. And the Frenchman is returning to the stage after a break from the League due to a muscle ailment. Far from the fist of the past course, He has managed to pass the 300-minute barrier goalless since his double against Espanyol on 28 August. and with the desire to reunite with the target before becoming a Madridista reference in the classic. The Brazilians will turn eleven with a new attack as Vinícius and Rodrygo are expected to rest and there is an opportunity for Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio.

Rotations in Ancelotti’s mind include putting players like Lucas Vázquez and Nacho Fernández on the defensive. It’s in an eleven where newbies who have been resting at Getafe, Ferland Mendy or Toni Kroos also return.

it’s time to show Squad depth given the impossibility of playing everything up to the World Cup On a tight schedule with three games a week.

this Real Madrid gained credibility as a visitor in the Champions League, where they won their last four games in the group stage, scoring a devastating average of twelve goals and just one. The goal is to keep that up, leave his pass to the penalty-finished round of 16, and dedicate his efforts to the League fight against Barcelona.

Shakhtar will try to repeat the beautiful game they showed a week ago in Warsaw in the second half of the match played in Beşiktaş. Santiago Bernabeu.

Even though the Ukrainians came mass-bombed in the final hours by the Russian Army and conditioned not to play, with little competitive rhythm, in their own stadiums or even on their own country’s territory, as they played only one match in the last ten days, one Champions in Madrid.

On the other hand, this allows the “miners”, most of whom are in their early twenties, to face the Real Madrid match more comfortably and with more vigorous feet. Coach Ígor Jovicevic, who played in Castilla (1991-95), He did not leave completely satisfied with the game played last Wednesday. He’ll try to take advantage of Mudryk’s pointers, especially Carvajal, for his verticality that makes him suffer.

No changes are expected in the eleven types, but reserve strikers Sikan of Ukraine and Afrika Traoré, tEarn minutes if things go wrong in the first episode. Of course, the fact that Benzema is part of the game might force the Croatian to position Stepanenko, the lung of the team, as the hunting dog of the French.

Shakhtar is second in the group with 4 points. but in the event of a defeat, Leipzig can overtake it, which will once again face lower club Celtic. The Ukrainians hope that the Donbas team will bring them joy, which adds to the satisfaction created by the inclusion of Ukraine in the World Cup bid for Spain and Portugal for 2030.
