Zinedine Zidane will have to make a choice. While
surprising spate of Barça (3 losses and 1 draw in recent 4 days Liga)
has completely revived the championship, the Real is about to chain 6
meetings in 18 days only: it begins this week with the Villarreal
reception initially, then this trip to Rayo Vallecano Saturday and the
first leg of the Champions League with Manchester City! Engaged on all fronts, the he will show Real is competitive on all fronts? Sacrificing either competition obviously seems inconceivable and would not be accepted by the Madrid fans. ZZ will therefore have no choice but to align his team-like in every game, and take the risk of losing everything! This weekend Vallecano, it would be no surprise to see the defense of
Real be undermined, as was often the case this season outside.
Real Madrid issued a statement Friday on the status of Cristiano Ronaldo
and one learns that the attacker Lusitano has had an MRI that revealed only muscle fatigue. Nothing so serious for the prolific Portuguese striker, who has, however, not led.
His participation in the next match of the Real against Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Saturday is very compromised. Especially since it's Manchester City looming in midweek in the Champions League. Ronaldo should be allowed to stand and thus miss the opportunity to break the record of minutes played in La Liga in a season for an outfield player, a record that would be still held by Fabricio Coloccini. A record for least Cr7.
Real will enchainer 6 games in 18 days, or 1 game every 3 days. The players know, and could well have against their head to move to Manchester City next Wednesday in LDC.
Rayo Vallecano scored 15 goals in his last 8 home league games, always scoring at least once at each of these 8 meetings.
Real Madrid has a series of 9 consecutive matches conceding at least one away goal in the league: Las Palmas, Getafe, Granada, Levante, Betis, all scored at least 1 time by receiving the Real.
Real Madrid is favorite and is now only one single point of Barça. Logically, and even if they cash in one or more goals, they should emerge victorious - and therefore score goals - during this trip to Rayo Vallecano.
Difficult to anticipate the reaction qu'auront the Real Madrid players face this daunting schedule ahead. If Zidane will certainly hit the bottom of both worlds, Real remains febrile outside and players could head to the Champions League, one or more goals Rayo Vallecano are expected in response to the goals Madrid.
