Ancelotti: “Do you remember what I did by Khedira in UCL final?!.. I will repeat it against City in the second leg”

Real Madrid is preparing to face Real Mallorca tomorrow, Saturday, in the 31st round of the Spanish Premier League, and then it will fly to England to face Manchester City on Tuesday at Etihad Stadium in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The qualification ticket for the Champions League semi-finals has not yet been decided, as the first leg ended in a 3-3 draw, and both teams need to win by any result to seize the pass.

Real Madrid suffers from several absences due to injury, most notably in the back line, where Courtois and David Alaba have been absent for a long time and will not return during the current season, but Brazilian centre-back Eder Militao has been restored, but he has not participated in the squad yet.

During the press conference held today in preparation for the match against Real Mallorca, Ancelotti spoke about Militao’s participation in the next two matches, saying: “Eder Militao is ready. You remember that I also played with Sami Khedira in the Champions League final when he returned from injury and before he played any minutes in another match…”

He added: “Militao feels very good. “He can’t play 90 minutes but I think he can play a good part of the game and do it well.”
