Ancelotti raises panic in Real Madrid after the victory over Athletic Bilbao: “It does not look good”

Carlo Ancelotti did not hide his happiness with the victory achieved by Real Madrid, 2-0, away from home against Athletic Bilbao in the opening matches of the Spanish League this season, but at the same time he caused panic in the white club with his statements after the end of the confrontation.

On the performance: “A good first half, with a lot of intensity, we continued attacking to finally score. I saw guys connected and excited. We won a lot of duels because we worked a lot on the defensive side.”

Bellingham’s performance: “We played most of the match with the diamond formation, and we worked well on the wings with Camavinga and Valverde. Bellingham is very excited to be here, with his top quality. The team is comfortable playing this way in his presence.”

Rodrygo: “He’s very young, he has to keep going, he’s going to be more consistent this season. He is an important player, he is a player who can be said to play outside, more versatile than Joselu, with him on the field we have to adjust the system a bit.

Lunin: He did very well, very calm and very focused, he showed well, he didn’t have many opportunities to show his quality because we were very strong in defence.

Ancelotti panicked about Militao’s injury, who left in tears: “He sprained his knee. It doesn’t look good, we’ll evaluate it in the next few hours. We are not ruling anything out.”

These words sound frightening, as it would be a shock if Militao was confirmed to have cut the cruciate ligament. Any serious injury could keep him out of action for a long time, especially after Courtois’ injury, which would keep him out of action for 5 or 7 months.
