Real Madrid especially appreciate good fortune in the Champions League, but the thirteen-time champions head to Wednesday’s match against Borussia Moenchengladbach with their qualifying hopes tied to a thread.
If he suffers a humiliating exit from the organizing phase, ending his remarkable streak as the only team that has shyed away from the dismissal at this stage, coach Zinedine Zidane’s long streak will be in danger.
A victory over anyone in the Spanish capital will ensure a step to the eighth round of Group B.
If Madrid tie and Shakhtar win or tie with Inter Milan in the organizing match, the Spanish giants will be eliminated.
Reports in the Spanish capital have connected Madrid with former Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino, lately a club, if they split from Zidane, while Real Madrid coach Castilla Raúl González, a prolific club striker in the past, has been promoted as a ‘Plan B’.
“I don’t think about that at all, I’m just thinking about winning and completing the most sensible thing in the group,” Zidane told the press this Tuesday, when asked about the speculation.
“This game is for the team to show what it’s made of. This club, all those players are used to playing gambling under pressure . . . we know what we’re betting on. “
Frenchman Santiago Solari was fired after the humiliating departure of the last 16 games against Ajax in the Champions League in 2019, paving the way for his return just 10 months after his sudden departure.
Last season’s elimination at the same level through Manchester City was mitigated through the team’s strong national functionality on its way to the Spanish title, however, some other early failure in Europe may become the last drop for President Florentino Pérez’s satisfied cause. .
“He has written the history of this club and writes it. Last season he won two trophies for us,” Casemiro told the press.
“Often other people what he did and what he keeps doing for this club. The team is one hundred percent behind the coach.
However, despite his good luck in two terms, with three Champions League titles, two La Liga titles and two Club World Cups adding trophies, and his good career as a player, a defeat can make Zidane Madrid the eighth technical victim in 10 years.
At least it’s driven by the return of Captain Sergio Ramos and right-back Dani Carvajal. The Spanish duo played a role in Madrid’s defence.
Ramos in particular is critical, as Madrid have lost 8 of their last 10 European matches in which they have played the 35-year-old, adding the eliminations of Ajax and Manchester City.
“Sergio is an honor to me. He’s our leader, our captain,” Casemiro said.
“He’s one of the players of all time, we’re very pleased that he’s back in the locker room with us. “
Zidane was given a touch after a narrow 1-0 win over Sevilla on Saturday, Real Madrid’s first la Liga victory since October.
Madrid almost fell to win in Germany in October, goals from Karim Benzema and Casemiro helped them draw 2-2 after a double from Marcus Thuram put Gladbach ahead.
A couple of disappointing victories against Antonio Conte’s Inter Milan put Madrid back on track, but a 2-0 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in early December left Zidane desperate for a win this week.
Madrid will then receive the league leader, Atletico Madrid, in a derby on Saturday, another fit in a week that may only shape the season of the Spanish champions and the long career of their coach.
After Shakhtar’s defeat, Zidane insisted that he had no intention of resigning, but if the team opposed Marco Rose’s Gladbach, that resolve could elude him.
