Vinicius Jr., 24, was joined to a growing list of absentees ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League visit to high-flying Liverpool on Wednesday. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attempted to put a good spin on the team’s injuries.
However, he stated that the team must view injuries as a chance to grow and adapt. “We have also had seven anterior cruciate ligament (injuries) in addition to the muscle issues,” Ancelotti said at a press conference on Tuesday.
Avoiding them is challenging because other teams are also affected, in addition to Madrid. The injuries remain the same, regardless of how each team responds to these issues. This must be tolerated. “We must make an effort to believe that injuries have been a fantastic chance for us to improve, just like we did the previous season. The fact that Militao, Lucas, and Rodrygo’s injuries against Osasuna altered the team’s dynamic is no accident.
For this game against really demanding opponents who are playing exceptionally well, we are more resilient, feel well, and have the same confidence as before. But I see it as a fantastic chance for us to return to our peak performance. I have no doubt that the game will be fantastic. Whatever occurs after that, it happens. However, the team will undoubtedly be competitive today.
With four victories out of four in Europe’s top club competition, Liverpool leads the Premier League and Champions League standings and has an outstanding 14-game winning streak across all competitions. After losing 1-0 at Lille on matchday two, Real Madrid, currently ranked second in La Liga, has won two of their four European games this season but fell 3-1 at home to Milan last time out. “It will be a very entertaining match, as always,” Ancelotti said.
