Real Madrid travel to England to face Manchester City in the second leg. Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois appear in Zinedine Zidane’s selection.
Undergone ankle surgery in March, Hazard made a timid comeback with Real Madrid during the resumption of La Liga where the Madrid club won their 34th Spanish league title.
Embarrassed by his ankle after the match against Espanyol, the captain of the Red Devils had missed the matches against Bilbao and Getafe. Against Alavés, he had only played eight minutes before being left on the bench against Granada. In the last match at Leganes, he was also left to rest.
“He had some trouble at the end of La Liga, but he’s feeling a lot better now, especially since we’ve had plenty of time to prepare for the game,” Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said on Thursday. “He feels good, confident. When he had his injury during the season, when we were playing every two or three days, it was difficult for him to recover. But now he feels good, he is not going to play with it. of genes”.
It remains to be seen if the Red Devil will start the meeting. “We’ll see what we do tomorrow,” Zidane said. “These are things of the coach and the players. The most important thing is that we are well. We had 10 days to prepare for the match and what is said about Hazard does not count anymore.”
On Friday, Real Madrid will have to catch up after losing 1-2 in the first leg. “We have prepared well for this game. It’s a second leg, we know the first leg result, our delay, but we are focused and we know it will be another final. We will try to make a great match, “suggests the coach merengue. “I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. What I can tell you is that it will be a good football game between two very good teams. We are ready, we are approaching it as another final because there are four if we want to go to the final “.
