Real Madrid held their final training session on Friday at Valdebebas before facing Barcelona in a crucial match, where the Blaugrana will be looking to bring out the best in the Madrid team.
Carlo Ancelotti understands that his players need to be decisive in every area, as this match could secure three vital points in the race for the Spanish league title.
In a press conference, the Italian coach stated, “The team is performing well and is motivated. Clásicos are competitive and challenging, but they are also enjoyable. We want to put on a good show in front of our fans.”
However, according to information from the Spanish newspaper “Defensa Central,” there are still some uncertainties regarding Real Madrid’s lineup, which raises the likelihood of Luka Modric starting.
In fact, Davide informed Carlo that Modric’s ability to make key passes behind defenders could be crucial for his inclusion in the starting lineup, especially after analyzing Barcelona’s performance against Bayern Munich.
The assistant coach added in recent hours, “His passes behind the defenders could be the key to linking up with Vinicius and Kylian,” increasing the chances of the Croatian playing from the start.
