Real Madrid continues in its thirteen to cover Fede Valverde, whom it does not plan to penalize for his attack on Álex Baena on Saturday, a case that the white club considers settled, and Carlo Ancelotti prepares tomorrow's game against Chelsea in the Bernabéu, the first leg of the quarterfinals, with the same team with which they won last Wednesday at the Camp Nou and eliminated FC Barcelona from the Cup.
The whites now ask Valverde to focus on his game and forget about everything else. The Uruguayan midfielder was one of the best on the team at the beginning of the season, but since the World Cup he has not been the same, and the club believes that it was largely due to his personal problems related to the difficulties of the second pregnancy of her partner, the Argentine journalist Mina Bonino.
Against Chelsea, the only doubt that Ancelotti maintains is if he takes Rodrygo Goes out of the team, who has not been well in recent games and puts Marco Asensio in his place, with more goals than the young Brazilian. In defense, Militão is safe and the other center back is between Rüdiger, who would play like that against his former team, or David Alaba, who if he didn't play in the backbone he would move to the left back, as he did for many years at Bayern.
