With still a long list of shortcomings, but encouraged by the recent results in La Liga, Real Madrid will meet Atalanta on Wednesday for the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals and hope for a rematch ahead.

In the run-up to the match, the man who recently became one of Zinedine Zidane’s important screws – Perlan Mendy – spoke in Spain. The French defender recalls what he went through early in his career when he was still young and almost had to stop playing football due to a serious injury, which caused him to sit in a wheelchair for a long time.

The actor commented on the injury: “I was seriously injured at the Paris Saint-Germain academy when I was a child, I had arthritis in my hip and I had an infection. I had to have surgery and spent a lot of time in the hospital, for two or three months without being able to leave. When the doctors operated on me, they even talked about amputating the leg. These were difficult times in my life. “

On the upcoming game: “We have to be careful, they did not reach this class just yet. “It is a good team that scores a lot of goals so that it will be a very difficult meeting, but we will do everything we can to qualify,” he said Mandy To the UEFA website and also praised his coach: “He is a legend, it is an honor to train under him. He has charisma and he prepares us well.
