In light of the fact that Real Madrid is now in possession of La Liga and that the remaining league matches provide nothing more than pride as a source of motivation, the club’s focus is completely focused on the upcoming Champions League final.
The Merengues have just completed a remarkable comeback against Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, and they are now preparing to compete against Borussia Dortmund, another German team.
Nevertheless, in the aftermath of this matchup, coach Carlo Ancelotti will be faced with a few challenges to resolve. The probable absence of Aurelien Tchouameni and the return of Thibaut Courtois will provide the Italian with some food for thought when he is analyzing his team.
A cryptic clue is dropped by Ancelotti.
It was claimed that both Carlo Ancelotti and Florentino Perez believe that having Thibaut Courtois in goal against Dortmund rather than Andriy Lunin might increase their chances of winning the match.
According to statements that have come straight from the horse’s mouth, the return of the Belgian is a possibility that should not be discounted.
While Ancelotti was being questioned about the quality of the goalie, he responded by saying, “Thibaut needs to play.” This was in response to the fact that Courtois had made a significant contribution to the team’s victory against Granada the previous Saturday. by way of SPORT.
As it would seem that Ancelotti has already made up his mind, this phrase has been seen by many people in Madrid as a suggestion that is very close to being final.
Taking into consideration the heroics that Courtois shown throughout the 2022 Champions League campaign, particularly in the championship match against Liverpool, Real Madrid will be delighted to have their wall serve as their protector once again.
Furthermore, Courtois has sufficient time to reclaim his best form before to the major clash with Dortmund since he has games scheduled against Alaves, Villarreal, and Real Betis.
However, in the event that Lunin is able to make an appearance on the pitch during any of these matches, he will be the preferable choice.
Furthermore, it has been stated that Ancelotti intends to offer Kepa with playing time, which would enable him to gently say goodbye to the team.
Real Madrid’s strategy for the future matches will be revealed in due time, but it is becoming more probable that the club will be placing their hopes on Courtois to win the championship match.
