Los days before the Champions League grand final that Real Madrid will play this Saturday against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley, in search of the fifteenth European Cup, are marked by the statements to different media by Rodrygo Goes. The Brazilian has raised a lot of doubts about his future at the club, stating that “the years I spent here were a pleasure for me (…) I have a contract with Madrid, but anything can happen.”
Although he later qualified these words – pronounced in the excerpt of an interview with DAZN – by ensuring in a tweet that they were taken out of context, in a new interview – with GQ magazine – he pointed out that “Manchester City is the best team in the world, the who plays better football.”
Because of all these words from Rodrygo, they have asked Carlo Ancelotti at the press conference he offered this Friday at Wembley with Luka Modric y Nacho Fernandez. And the Italian coach is clear: when talking about the supposed nerves that Madrid may have facing the final, Carletto He pointed out that he has “confidence in my athletes, like I have in Rodrygo, who is going to give his all. Rodrygo It has been a very important piece, it is and will be, without a doubt“.
The Italian, who is facing his ninth Champions League final (his sixth as a coach), confirmed that Thibaut Courtois will start. “(Andriy) Lunin has had the flu and will travel tomorrow. He is fine, but tomorrow he goes to the bench and Courtois will play,” he responded about the debate in goal between the Belgian goalkeeper and the Ukrainian.
Furthermore, Ancelotti highlights that “there is something special in the character of this club” and that “it is no coincidence” that he wins so many titles.
