Pre-match remarks:
Ancelotti: This game will tell us a lot, because the opponent’s organization is very good, very strong, we need to come up with our best condition, the team can do it. Alaba is a little uncomfortable. We will go for an assessment tomorrow. This is not an important issue because his ligaments are not injured and there is no risk. Hazard participated in the training today, but gastroenteritis still affects him, and he is still unable to play. Valverde’s situation is good. Agent Bell criticizes Real Madrid fans? I don’t know him, but I think this is not what Bell thought, because he respects the fans, and the fans always respect him. He is not the only player who has been booed. I have nothing to say about that. Hazard? He just suffers from gastroenteritis. Today he participated in the team’s training, the rhythm is not strong, because he still has not recovered. If Mbappé comes, what position will Vinicius play? He did not perform at a normal level in the game against Sharif. I agree with that, but he is not tired. Vinicius is a player who needs to play on the left. He will continue to play there, no matter who his teammates are.
Lopetegui: We have injury problems, some players are unwell, we have to see what will happen to them tomorrow. We have 22 players going to the away game, of which 3 players have not been able to participate in training for the whole week, tomorrow we will make the final decision. In the case of serious injuries to the team, we must trust those players who stand up in time. Although the opponent is Real Madrid, our goal is to win, there is no need to focus on these setbacks. Tomorrow’s game will be very complicated and difficult. We are talking about Real Madrid. They are the leaders of La Liga and one of the best teams in the world. Facing a good team, the game will definitely be very complicated. I feel that they have grown a lot this season. The special thing about each game is that we have three points to fight for, and facing heavyweight opponents like Real Madrid, we have a lot of important things to fight for.
