Karim Benzema is back in the line-up
The Frenchman, with discomfort, traveled to Rabat with Militao, after the semifinal in search of a miracle, to arrive in time for the final. Ancelotti referred the potential ownership to the feelings of both. Those of the striker must have been better than those of the defender, since Karim will be the white spearhead in the duel against Al Hilal to add the 2023 Club World Cup to the white bag. And the other novelty regarding the match against Al Ahly is Carvajal, who recovered from the fever that gave the ‘2’ lane to Nacho. The youth squad player, who hugged his fourth son on an express round trip to Madrid, will wait on the bench. While the one sacrificed by Benzema will be Rodrygo, who signed an outstanding performance on Wednesday, but who recovers the role of player number 12. At the sides of ‘9’, Vinicius and Valverde, the other great protagonists against the Egyptians. Vini opened the scoring with a fantastic chip and the Falcon smiled again with their ninth goal, their first in more than 100 days.
Ceba may sit on the bench
In midfield, the victim is Dani Ceballos for the second consecutive game. On important nights and with his physique not being a hindrance, Ancelotti continues to opt for Tchouameni, Modric and Kroos, his most trusted trio in the engine room. Ceballos, yes, will surely appear during the second half on the green, as happened in the semifinal, where he had time to give Rodrygo 1-3 with a beautiful heel.
