Real Madrid have finished preparations for tomorrow’s (Tuesday, 22:00) rematch against Atlanta in the last eight of the Champions League. The Blancos are coming up with a 0-1 advantage over the game in Italy and will hope to return to the last eight, but if that does happen – Eden Hazard, who is injured again – will not be able to share the achievement unlike captain Sergio Ramos, who is expected to start in the squad.
“We start from scratch tomorrow and do not intend to take advantage of the first meeting,” coach Zinedine Zidane explained tonight (Monday), “We must not think we were up to the task. Only tomorrow’s game is in our head now.”
On the injured Belgian midfielder: “Sooner or later, the Czar will return to play with us, we have to be patient with him, I ask the fans to wait and continue to support him all the time. I hope he comes back to himself, he is a player who is very important to the whole system.”
On the rumors and publications about a possible return of Cristiano: “Ronaldo now belongs to Juventus, we know Cristiano well but now he is a player of Juventus, and we all need to respect that, we will see what happens in the future because everyone remembers we did wonderful things together. I do not know if he “He will return to Real, but he is really something special. Ronaldo scores a lot of goals for his team. Who knows? Maybe one day, this player will play for our team again.”
