“With the old guard”, “Real’s emblem returns”

Real Madrid hopes to do their duty tonight (Tuesday, 22:00) and qualify for the quarterfinals of the Champions League at the expense of Atlanta, after beating them 0: 1 in the first game between them in Italy. Zinedine Zidane’s side will miss Eden Hazard, who was injured again and may have even finished the season, but will get Sergio Ramos back in 11th place in Europe.

“Real Madrid’s veteran guard is back,” the SS wrote, “The veteran key stars of Zidane, Ramos, Benzema, Cross and Modric are ready to rise at 11. In the ‘Marca’ they mainly referred to the Spanish stopper: “The Real Madrid emblem is back – Real Madrid is aiming for the quarter-finals”.

Zinedine Zidane’s Blancos also came back to win in the league after two draws following the win in Italy, when three days ago Carim Benzema completed a makeover for the Spanish champions with a late double set at 1-2 over Elche.

On the other hand, Jan Piero Gasparini’s team has won three games since that loss to Blancos and only succumbed to the strong Inter. In victories it recorded 0: 2 against Sampdoria, 1: 5 big on Crotone and 1: 3 on Spezia in the last game, when against the Narazuri it absorbed 1: 0.

After being eliminated in the last two years in the quarter-finals, against Ajax and Manchester City, Zidane’s boys want to do the job this time and reach the final eight stage in a factory where they won three times in a row between 2016 and 2018, thus keeping the double dream alive.
