Spanish newspapers analyzed the current situation at Real Madrid, with special attention to next week’s Champions League clash.
French striker is not 100% fit
Journalists assured the French striker that “if he is not 100% it would be a mistake to put him against PSG because it has already cost him against much smaller rivals. It is a very big responsibility and they cannot afford to lose him for two months”. For his part, another expert considers that “in the last two years, Benzema has arrived stiff at the Champions League matches. We all fill our mouths saying that he is in the best moment of his career, but he is 33 years old, he goes with France and for me this is a planning error. D-day arrives and H hour arrives and it’s a “either Benzema play or they’re lost”. He also added that “if there has been a coach who has tried to get players back, that is Ancelotti. With others, Hazard would be in Belgium, Marcelo would not have played a minute… The one who sees their attitude, weight, form Physical… It’s Ancelotti. Marcelo was a waste and he has recovered it. Isco too, with Hazard he has tried. If Mourinho is here, those are no longer in the squad”.
Benzema and Hazard case
Experts also said that Ancelotti has zero trust in Eden Hazard. The coach is not giving a few minutes to the Belgian striker against the little teams. It’s obvious that Eden will not play from the first second against PSG. It’s a big clash in the Champions League and he has to play with the optimal line-up. In this case, Karim Benzema has to be ready for the clash. Keep in mind that Karim Benzema was already training but behind the pitch. He is just training hard in the gym and everyone in the club hopes for the best results.
