They are drawing against Salzburg on the penultimate matchday of the Champions League Phase. Ancelotti’s men need victory to secure a place in the top 24 and access the next round. Furthermore, they are obliged to take the three points and win on the last day to improve their chances of getting into the top eight. They come to this match with a balance of three wins and three losses in the Champions League and, a priori, they are the favorites to defeat Salzburg, since the Austrian team is in 32nd position with only three points (Real Madrid currently is twenty-second and nine). The whites recover Vinicius, Tchouameni and Modric tonight, and lose Lucas Vázquez due to an accumulation of cards. Instead, Ancelotti opts for Valverde as the right back.
